about

A tribute to the soldier who returned without knowing that he no longer had where to return.

lyrics

VERSE 1

The war is over
But my battle rages on
I'm in my country
And it doesn't feel like home

My friends are buried
Only one was left alive
I went to meet him
But he died when I arrived

BRIDGE 1

Now I’m on my own
Without a purpose
I'm feeling worthless
Baker Team is gone

VERSE 2

Kicked out from cities
I was looking for a place
But in a glimpse
I found myself under arrest

I tried to explain
I could not say a single word
He kept on pushing
Cause’ he says he's now the law

BRIDGE 2

I'm inside a jail
He took my freedom
There was no reason
Here comes my revenge

CHORUS 1

He pushed me far
He kept me locked
I could not take it anymore

Scenes from the past came to my mind
The scars I still can't leave behind

I’m left alone
Against them all
There are no friends out of the war

I will become their brand new law
Cause’ they're the ones
They drew first blood


VERSE 3

Maybe in your town
You are the owner of the streets
But in the wild you're gonna beg me on your knees

I could have killed you
But I rather taste your fear
I’m your worst nightmare
You should just have set me free

BRIDGE 3

This is all his fault
He caused me trouble
He’ll pay me double
Now I'll give him war

CHORUS 2

Under attack
I can’t come back
His troops are gone, there are no more

I was the Raven soaring high
And one by one I crushed his gang

I’m left alone
Against them all
There are no friends out of the war

This is the point of no return
Cause’ they're the ones who drew first blood
They drew first blood

(MUSICAL INTERLUDE)

FINAL CHORUS

I could escape
Or run away
I keep on fighting here instead

This is the only way I know
After a life inside the war

Who watched my back?
I’ve been betrayed
My own recruiter wants me dead

We fought together side by side
And now he shoot me from behind

I tried to win
Seek victory
But death has taken over me

I couldn't find my own way home
Cause’ they're the ones who drew first blood
They drew first blood
