Carry My Body Down Songtext
von Nick 13

How long can this journey go on?
Will I find the place I′m meant to go?
Will dreams fall down around us?
Just like a winter snow
Another year has come and gone
Will my luck hold for one year more?
I think of how far that I've come
And what′s been left behind

When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
Will they take it from the river?
After I've jumped right in and drowned
Will they find it on the battlefield?
On the spot I stood my ground
(...)


I wander long, I wander far
Someday I'll wander no more
I′ll search to find what I have lost
And that which I′ve never known
And when I find that I'm gone
Across the river I′ll go
I'll take only my memories
Things that might have been

When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
Will they cut it from my hangman′s noose?
After the sentence has been down
Will anyone be there to mourn?
A villain's pass into the ground
(...)

When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body down?
When will they carry my body, down?
