A Warriors Life

Steel in my spine dust in my veins

Every scar a badge no room for pain

Shadows stretch long across the sand

I’ve danced with the reaper

Looked him in the eye

Not today not tonight

I laugh at death

I should’ve died

But I’m still here

I have to laugh

To override my mind

I Run back in no fear

Civilians will never understand

Boots in the mud blood on my hands

For my brother my sister

I’ll make my stand

The wind carries cries like ghosts in the air

I’ve kissed the void

Felt the cold bite

I've taken another's life

To protect my country

Am I right

Am I wrong

If I live I laugh

I laugh at death

I should’ve died

But I’m still here

I laugh at death

Run back in no fear

My humor is dark

Because I see death different

Civilians won't understand

I laugh at death

I should’ve died

But I’m still here

There's no room for pain

No time to stop

I'll sleep in Valhalla

The warriors heaven

God won't let me in

Another life I've taken

My brothers my sisters

We'll celebrate together

For now I've a job to do

And I laugh at death

I’ve danced with the reaper

Looked him in the eye

Not today not tonight

I laugh at death

I should’ve died

But I’m still here
