A soldier's tale



I'm the one with swords,
Looking all dark over sea .
Storms sharp as knife ,
covering sweet like melody . Clearing my way through the sea.

Angels all around .
 making my soul roar,
 for a sacrifice for all,
 I'll burn down along.

 Now I'm a star , twinkling in the night sky.
 proud of every moment very high .

 Past was hell ,
 Present looks forward ,
 Future is a mystery .
 But I'll return back , to protect my land .

Wait for me ,
 A new world my god will send me.
 I'll come back and reply , because they made many die, and my country cry .
 God is with me , he'll punish them .
 He'll show justice , and take my  revenge.
