"Tenth Man Down" lyrics
(feat. Tapio Wilska)
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'n
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'n
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 'til 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'n
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'n
Fight for life
Hold on tight
This ain't my fight
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'n
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'n
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 'til 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'n
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'n
Fight for life
Hold on tight
This ain't my fight
