Nightwish - 10th Man Down

Today I killed, he was just a boy 
\ Eight before him, I knew them all 
\ In the fields a dying oath 
\ I'd kill them all to save my own
\
\ Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
\ One by one, we will fall, down down 
\ Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
\ Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
\
\ Deliver me from this war 
\ It's not for me it's because of you 
\ Devil's instant; my eternity 
\ Obey to kill to save yourself
\
\ Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
\ One by one, we will fall, down down 
\ Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
\ Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
\
\ "I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell 
\ My path made up by their torn bodies 
\ Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust 
\ Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"
\
\ They wait for me far back home 
\ They live with eyes turned away 
\ They were the first ones to see 
\ They are the last ones to bleed
\
\ "The ultimate high as all beautiful dies 
\ A ruler's tool, a priest's excuse, a tyrant's delight 
\ I alone, the great white hunter 
\ I'll march till the dawn brings me rest
\
\ 10th patriot at the gallows' pole!"
\
\ Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
\ One by one, we will fall, down down 
\ Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
\ Hold on tight, this ain't my fight 
\ Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no 
\ One by one, we will fall, down down 
\ Pull the plug, end the pain, run an' fight for life 
\ Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
