How Soon? Songtext
von Sleepy Jean

To the ruthless go the spoils
Guarded go the meek
The timer′s set, the water's boiled,
The ransom laughs, a note I won′t leave

And I won't tell you
I can't bear to speak your name
Marching four by four again
And they whisper, how soon? How soon?


Plunder, pillage, sweep your gaze
Along my flesh and bone
If I′m only good for what I gave
Why′d you shade my garden with your stone?

And I won't tell you
I can′t bear to speak your name
Marching two by two again
And they whisper how soon? How soon?

Blessed be the ones for whom,
The fools do march and sing
Blessed be those chosen few
Who choose not to rot in long wind middling


And I won't tell you
I can′t bear to speak your name
Marching down my spine again
And they whisper, how soon? How soon?
