Empire of the Gun Lyrics

It seems like yesterday
That day I held you in my arms. Now I'm gone
The warm ebrace of my protector is lost forever
I will make it back to you - or die trying
You are with me every step I take
I know not why, but I must honor you
I swear I will make it back home. Back home
Soldiers won't be cast into their afterlives
For a fight they never believed in. Go

It seems like yesterday
That day I held you in my arms. Now I'm gone
The warm embrace of my protector is lost forever
I will make it back to you - or die trying
You are with me every step I take
I know not why, but I must honor you
I swear I will make it back home. Back home
Soldiers won't be cast into their afterlives
For a fight they never believed in
I wasn't born to die

[SOLO]
Empire of the gun
Empire of the...gun

Empire of the Gun
We will not fail
We will not falter
Empire of the gun

Soldiers won't be cast into their afterlives
For a fight they never believed in
I wasn't born to die
But I would sacrifice my life.
