The Deserter Songtext
von Scott Matthew

It′s time that we lament
All the ones that history forgets
You're more of a man
Than anyone understands

To lay a body in a world that′s kind
Being gentle is only strength
Where pure of heart could never be a crime
Meek and fearful, we will defend

No ideology, morality, law or Lord up above
Where cowardice is courage so you have my love


Lay the sweetest wreath at the feet
Of the ones who have run
You're hated 'cause you′re good
More than anyone understood
The deserter who wouldn′t matter
Let his heart illuminate
Rest in peace, we know you're someone
Forgive us for we know now what we′ve done

To lay a body in a world that's kind
Being gentle is only strength
Where pure of heart could never be a crime
Meek and fearful, we will defend

No ideology, morality, law or Lord up above
Where cowardice is courage so you have my love
No ideology, morality, law or Lord up above
Where cowardice is courage so you have my love
No ideology, morality, law or Lord up above
Where cowardice is courage so you have my love

To lay a body in a world that′s kind
To lay a body in a world that's kind
