Floater - Alone lyrics

(Thunder, birds chirping, bomb blasts) Hold me close until my fear subsides Yah I might be the only one left alive Oh pull me out of this sullen field. Yes I might be too close I might be too close We're all alone We are alone But I don't know your location So many ghosts have come and gone They left a ringing in my ear We are alive The world is ice This is a strange vocation But I might be too close I might be too close I can feel you, Mother Oh I'm so near you, Mother We were all so brave on the outside Oh we painted our very own meaning of love In our letters of blood Oh Yes It goes so fast, like a bomb blast The conviction of the righteous is gone Yah it goes so fast, like a bomb blast The conviction of the righteous is gone Yah we are alone We're all alone But I don't know your location So many ghosts they have come and gone They left a ringing in my ear To put the blade to those you love This is a strange vocation I might be to close I might be to close I can feel you Mother Oh I'm so near you Mother We were all so brave on the outside Oh we painted our very own meaning of love In our letters of blood (Bomb blasts) Oh-ho Yes We painted our very own meaning in letters of blood (Bomb blasts) I saw the frightened faces of the boys coming in for the k** So many more of them left to cut down before we take that hill And they said "Any man here with a merciful thought in his head will be shot where he stands." So we carried out faithfully, down to the letter, all of the Colonel's demands All the Colonel's commands Yah all of the Colonel's demands And in the end we all knew we'd be getting what we got To the devil by a hangman's rope with the whole wretched lot (Helicopter, birds chirping)
