don't make me promise that i'll never ever leave you i couldn't say it if i knew it wouldn't be true don't make me promise that i'll never ever leave you i couldn't say it if i knew it wouldn't be true i wouldn't do it even if you knew that i lied so just cherish every moment that i'm by your side don't make me promise that i'll never ever leave you i couldn't say it if i knew it wouldn't be true man, i made it back, didn't think it'd happen, didn't think i'd last against that attack, it was a lot of sword clappin' happenin' too fast we didn't expect they'd be protected by some samurai they came correct and we got wrecked, i'm surprised more didn't die the lord assured us it'd be a breeze, we show up, they'll be on their knees then we'd seize all the rice and wheat and anything else we pleased i guess the farmers thought they'd finally had enough well i don't blame 'em i always thought the lord had been too rough we probably had it comin', justice is always served in the end won't pretend that we treated the farmers like they was a friend but i ain't got a choice, a soldier ain't got a voice go to battle at the lord's command, doesn't matter if i understand used to be uneasy feelin' sleazy i ain't without regrets wish i could undo a bad action or two, things i'd rather forget but my path is set, and it's too late now for me to change my course i will just have to accept that i can't live a life without remorse Songtexteson, i gotta tell you, the only way i made it out was thinkin' of you and your moms when i was in doubt i wanna be here when you're swingin' swords instead of sticks i wanna be here watchin' you get chased around by chicks that was all i could think of even in my darkest bind facing certain death, all i had was family in my mind suddenly i had a surge of strength that i had never known that's when i knew there was no stoppin' me from gettin' home oh, how i'd like to just be here as you grow takin' it slow, becomin' a pro, like me some time ago to you all my wisdom i'd bestow, everything i've learned would be yours to know one day you'll be great, my son, and i know you'll be respected by everyone and when i'm done, promise that you will watch over our family land that the house of our ancestors will remain grand i know you understand the worth of where you stand cuz when you're runnin' around, i can tell that you feel blessed and i could happily rest, knowin' you'll never fail our family crest now you know it won't be long til i have to fight again and i wouldn't know who or why or when, but i know someday it'll have to end cuz i've already seen the face of death too many times before and i've lived through my fair share of wars someday i'll meet death when the time is right maybe i'll be brave enough not to fight and when i am walking into that light i'll be at peace, cuz i know with you everything will be alright Aus Songtexte Mania
