Baptised by Fire Lyrics

Father can you help me now
I've fallen weak again
Father can you hear me now
I can't go on
[A-CHORUS:]
Pushed to far
Meet my standards
Make them proud

Kill because I tell you to
Firstborn son
Don't want to see no tears

[B-CHORUS:]
The dream appears
When I close my eyes
Someday that b****** dies

Son he says
You'll be sent away
To make me proud
And to make them pay

Baptised by fire
Baptised by fire
Seems like only yesterday
I was a boy without a care
Now I got to make them pay
Or be sent home in a bag

[A+B CHORUSES]

Father tells me not to cry
You're a man and not a boy
He tells me hold my head up high
Even when I've got nothing to pride

Listen to mamma boy and you'll be weak
Do as I say and not as I do
He says it's nothing when he needs a drink
Boy I'm a man and I made you
[A+B CHORUSES]

You've got no right
To send off to war
Kill or be killed
Are you proud while I'm being scarred?

They say that I'm a soldier now
Time to show your might
Feels like spending time in hell
And my mind isn't right

Ten years later tell them I am a man
But I'm still locked away
Father says didn't go as planned
Ashamed of me so it's best I stay

[A+B CHORUSES]
