Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
I will, I will, I will
[Verse 2]
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
I will, I will, I will
[Verse 3]
And if I die, I'll die, I'll die alone on some forgotten hill
Abandoned by the mill
All my blood will spring and spill
I'll thrash the air and then be still
[Verse 4]
You'll wake with a start from a dream and know that I'm gone
You'll feel it in your heart but not for very long
[Verse 5]
You'll rise each day as planned, your will is your command
And stand each Sunday a hymnal steady in your hand
And you'll sing to yourself the rising falling melody
That you could never read, without the choirs' lead
Still alone and lost indeed
And your soul will not be free
[Verse 6]
I will go, I will go, I will go and in wars waters I will wade
And I will know without remorse or regret, the fairness of our trade
For you to live I took your place, a deal was made and I was paid
And the goal as I was told was a place where my body could be laid
[Verse 7]
And we will steal your life and die old in better homes surrounded
By your peers, without suffering or fear
Grandchildren far and near
And none will shed a tear
For the love no longer here
[Verse 8]
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
I will
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
I will, I will, I will
[Verse 9]
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
I will
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
I will, I will, I will
[Verse 10]
And if I die, I'll die, I'll die alone like Jesus
On a cross
My faith cannot be tossed
And my life will not be lost
If my love comes across
