Scared to Death

I see a dog lying dead on the street
Covered in blood and fire
I see the men tying rope round its feet
Watching the flames growing higher
And I see a dog crying out in a howl
Cursing a dying farewell
I watch the men as they laugh out loud
Maybe I'll see them in hell

Bring down the hammer
And shatter the bones
Chain up the shackles
Throw weight on their souls
I am beaten down, tired and torn
But I will weather the storm
It all is fair in love and war
And I am a soldier in both

I see a dog trying to escape
Crawling across the ground
I watch the men as they break his legs
And they beat him down
And I see a dog crying out in a howl
Cursing a dying farewell
I watch the men as they laugh out loud
Maybe I'll see them in hell

Bring down the hammer
And shatter the bones
Chain up the shackles
Throw weight on their souls
I am beaten down, tired and torn
But I will weather the storm
It all is fair in love and war
And I am a soldier in both

Bring down the hammer
And shatter the bones
Chain up the shackles
Throw weight on their souls
I am beaten down, tired and torn
But I will weather the storm
It all is fair in love and war
And I am a soldier in both
