Song Description

About a young man who goes to war for his country. He realises too late that the war is not a noble one and that he's thrown his life away for no good reason. He wishes he could live his life again and make different decisions, fo he has "shed too much blood for my country".

Lyrics

Verse:1
There's a man who cries blood of his country
In the heat of the yellow sun
Where the rocks are red with the blood of his life
And the moon is dark like the sky
He's run away from the cold in his life
To the warmth of the desert sea
Well, I hope he finds what he looks for
For that man I tell you is me

Transition:
A grave is dug in the waste land
Where I'm meant to lie sometime
I've asked many people for their help
All I hear is "some other time"

Chorus:
If I saw your God by the mountain
Could I tell Him that I'm really sad
Could I tell him that I need love so bad
That it's driving me out of my head
Would He listen to me on my death bed
If I needed someone near to talk
Or would He get up and slowly walk
Away from me in my hour of need

Verse:2
There's a man who died young for his country
In the heat of a bitter war
And the dust lay thick with the blood of his life
And the sun burned red in the sky
He ran away from the cold in his life
To the warmth of the desert sea
Well, he never found what he looked for
For that man I tell you is me [is me]

Transition
Chorus

Bridge:
Open my eyes, let me see life, let me live again
Oh, set me free, I'm tired of being a captive of this world
So, break the chain, free the soul, let me live again

Ride-Out:
Oh, set me free, I'm tired of being a captive of this world
Oh, so break the chain, free the soul
For I?ve shed too much blood for my country
I?ve shed too much blood for my country
