Guillotine's Release Songtext

These are fine words you're saying, I know you mean them well But this game of life we're playing is half in heaven., half in hell And your ideals are to be envied like some little child's dream But they crash around my aching head like rocks tumbling down a stream Chorus You're the soldier of freedom and you're the fighter for peace But you'd put the gun into my hand and signal up the guillotine's release There's been a million years of trouble and there'll be a million more And a million years of history, well you just cannot ignore I wish I had your confidence in your own sweet humand kind But the words are just the ashes of what all the others left behind Chorus You can sing to me of bravery, of sacrifice and pain And you know I'll listen carefully, that my heart fe els just the same But your way is like the trundle of a worn wooden wheel Your words are made from speeches your own innocence conceals Chorus So you can say I'm tired, you say I am no use You can say my courage fails me, but that's only half the truth Oh it's love we all are needing, we've been fighting for too long Now I'll lay down my weary pen and I will kindly move along Chorus
