lyrics

DESERTER

When you burry your head in the sand
Run away from your land
Flee your home, abandon your men
None of what you leave behind will stay
the same

When you shut your ears to my song
Build a wall I can’t get beyond
Grant my breath no voice
You know, you’re leaving me
leaving me no choice

dusk and dawn
careless tone
mask and fawn
dusk and dawn
careless tone
unanswered phone
summer long gone
turning to stone
do it alone
cry and moan

When you refuse both pride and blame
Hide your truth in an empty game
When you’ve used my love as a crutch
Don’t expect me to stay
untouched

All your loved ones gone in flame
Bullets and guns, silly a game
Blood and phlegm, rising unrest
Fake a confession, they’ll do the rest
