Empire of the Gun Songtext
von God Forbid

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
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 honour 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

Empire of the gun
Empire 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.
