tell them, tell them all
IRON MAIDEN - A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH:
The Legacy [Gers / Harris]
-----------------------------------------------------
Tell my family
I am not coming back
I am sent off to war
I signed up for this
I am trained to fight
I fight nobody
Tell them truth
I am well off among
The dead and the dying
I can’t be maimed
I can’t be idle
I am trained to die
Tell them, I prayed
To give y’ll strength
To bear my loss
For I am sent to war
To bear the cross of
Someone’s ego and lies
Tell my mother
Birth is cheap
Death is cheaper
Son of soil, they call me
I fight for soil, yet
I yearn for peace
Tell my brother
Fear not death
I die for other, just like the other
Tell my sister
Not to pray for me
But to pray for peace
Let peace be bought
Not by blood, not by money
But by His Divine Grace
