lyrics

DON'T FAIL ME
Listen like a soldier far behind the lines
crouched in the shadows waiting for a sign
the air is thick and thunders getting close
will you take me home will you let me go
if only we were ghosts

Ill take you story and ill carve it into stone
Long after life is gone and the lands are overgrown
All these tears are lost in the dust
All our fears in god did we trust

Don’t you fail me
Don’t let me down
Don’t you fail me don’t make a sound
Done you fail me now

Remember summers when were just kids
Throwing stone breaking rules laughing as we hid
These days seem close but its 10 years or more
Crouched in fear laying low praying its just stones

Don’t you fail me
Don’t let me down
Don’t you fail me don’t make a sound
Done you fail me don’t let me down
Don’t you fail me now

Hell mend this province when the sun is always cold
Where the roads you take often break and shake you to the core
Ill make it home when I am crawling through my days
I know your lying ways

I wish to god that I could take your place
Sick of dying for such a disgrace
Those days shine bright when we were 23
But we didn’t need this to set our spirits free

Don’t you fail me
Don’t let me down
Don’t you fail me don’t make a sound
Done you fail me don’t let me down
Don’t you fail me now
