"Promised Land" lyrics

"Promised Land"
(from "28 Years Later" soundtrack)

Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go

I'm heading to the land
They call the Promised Land
I'm heading overseas
Don't come for me

Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go

Brother, sister
I won't have it
I'm a man with gun in hand
Don't fuck with me

Brother, sister
I won't have it
I'm a man with a gun in hand
I'm saving fifty men
I'm treading, sinking still
I hope there's hope for me
Don't follow me

Don't follow me
Don't follow me
Don't follow me
Don't follow me

Scorpion's a working man
Taking everything that I want from it (Don't go)
I'm drowning in the deep
I'm going underneath
True, so much for the promised land
Don't, don't go down with me

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go
Don't, don't go

Scorpion's a working man
I'm drowning in the deep
I'm going underneath
Headed to the promised land
Don't, don't go down with me

Don't go
Don't, don't go

Heading to the Promised Land
Heading to the Promised Land
