Serenity - State Of Siege lyrics

It comes again
When the temples are shining in golden light
And day fades away deep inside
There's a feeling that I have not chosen well
My role in this play all this time
I have been a good soldier
Whose will was strong so I played my part
A painful song is the cry of a friend
As they raise the knife to cut out his heart

I've never tasted fear but now I know
Fearful nights and days of woe
Our raging treasure hunt has ended here
What's the use of all gold
When death is near?

State of siege
A peaceful ending out of reach
Our vessels were burning on the beach
The general
He left us no choice but to die in this land

In their eyes we were heralds of gods
Who would bring liberation far too late
They did realize what we bring is damnation

I've never tasted fear but now I know
Fearful nights and days of woe
I've heard my promised piece
Of land's right here
I'll resign it, my friend, my death is near!

Hear me, God
I'm a simple man who's praying for
A chance to return home again
Oh, I've shot so many men, I'm
Sick of killing, save my life
Get me out of this land

Hear me, God, to stay alive hear me, God
I am a man who's praying for
A chance to stay alive

Save my life, I'm sick of killing
