Vanished, the Warrior In My Blood
Vanished, The Warrior In My Blood
What has happened to the warrior in my blood
when did he vanish into this red clay mud?
O' the pains I've taken to keep in me the fight
and whiskey given up, to keep my sharp eyesight.
What has happened to the power in this man
when he feels tired and hopes for no stand.
O' the heartache that cuts so damn deep
and sad tears splattering, when I now weep.
What has happened to fierce fight in my soul
when sleeping late is now my cherished goal.
O' the misery in finding my courage gone
and great depths in feeling, so damn alone.
What has happened to young spirit I once had
and to raw anger that once made me so bad?
