Your sword's grown old and rusty Underneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done And though its been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes Now you're giving up the gun When I was 17 I had wrists like steel And I felt complete And now my body fades Behind my brass charade And I'm obsolete But if the chance remains To see those better days I go to cannons now My ears are blown to bits From all the rifle hits Still I crave that sound Your sword's grown old and rusty Underneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done SongtexteAnd though its been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes Now you're giving up the gun I heard you play guitar Down at a seedy bar Where skinheads used to fight Your Tokugawa smile And your garbage style Used to save the night You felt the coming wave Told me we'd all be brave You said you wouldn't flinch But in the years that passed Since I saw you last You haven't moved an inch Your sword's grown old and rusty Underneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done And though its been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes Now you're giving up the gun I see you shining your way Go on go on go on (Thanks to slownumbers and circa93 for correcting these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
