Today I killed, he was just a boy 
Eight before him, I knew them all 
In the fields a dying oath 
I'd kill them all to save my own

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

Deliver me from this war 
It's not for me it's because of you 
Devil's instant; my eternity 
Obey to kill to save yourself

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell 
My path made up by their torn bodies 
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust 
Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"

They wait for me far back home 
They live with eyes turned away 
They were the first ones to see 
They are the last ones to bleed

"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies 
A ruler's tool, a priest's excuse, a tyrant's delight 
I alone, the great white hunter 
I'll march till the dawn brings me rest

10th patriot at the gallows' pole!"

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight 
Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
One by one, we will fall, down down 
Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
