The Warrior Song



The Warrior Song – Lyrics
I’ve got the reach and the teeth of a killin’ machine,
with a need to bleed you when the light goes green
best believe, I’m in a zone to be, from my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze
put a grin on my chin when you come to me,
‘cuz I’ll win, I’m a one-of-a-kind and I’ll bring death
to the place you’re about to be: another river of blood runnin’ under my feet
forged in a fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you’ll never stand alone
I’m last to leave, but the first to go, Lord, make me dead before you make me old
I feed on the fear of the devil inside of the enemy faces in my sights:
aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like arctic ice

I am a soldier and I’m marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song

I bask in the glow of the rising war, lay waste to the ground of an enemy shore
wade through the blood spilled on the floor, and if another one stands I’ll kill some more
bullet in the breach and a fire in me, like a cigarette thrown, to gasoline
if death don’t bring you fear, I swear, you’ll fear these marchin’ feet
Come to the nightmare, come to me, deep down in the dark where the devil be
in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth,
where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps
call to the gods if I cross your path and my silhouette hangs like a body bag
hope is a moment now long past, the shadow of death is the one I cast.

I am a soldier and I’m marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
my eyes are steel and my gaze is long
I am a warrior and this is my song

now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief,
and the least of me is still out of your reach
the killing machine’s gonna do the deed,
until the river runs dry and my last breath leaves
chin in the air with a head held high,
I’ll stand in the path of the enemy line
feel no fear, know my pride:
for God and Country I’ll end your life

I am a soldier and I’m marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
my eyes are steel and my gaze is long
I am a warrior and this is my song

Well Sir Kinda like Anon: I am a Vet, Vietnam. I also am too poor to buy it again, and again. I purchased it from I tunes but like so many things today even when you purchase something it still does not belong to you. I would like to have this so I can put it on a thumb drive and have it to practice it. I want to perform it at a fourth of July event this coming summer and it would be a lot handier if since I have purchased it I could have it to work from.

Oh and by the way. Yes thank you for posting it here. Particularly the lyrics. I have played parts of it over and over a hundred or more times trying to figure out what the exact words were. Now I have them. I would like to suggest you make the video window a little larger so that one can see the whole of the video. It would be much better if you could see all of it. Thanks again

Not to make fun, Rowdy- but click the "fullscreen" button. It's already coded out in the Youtube imbed....

JAFO said...

Gents....

I won't help you steal the song- but I will say if you can't figure out how to use "Youtubedownloader", I can't help you.

This said- I do STRONGLY ADVISE contributing to the charity, and then taking whatever means to make it portable amongst different media that floats your boat.

Rowdy said...

Well thanks anyway. Yeah I bought it again and we did perform it at the fourth and the crowd went nuts. We had vets in field gear playing assault teams and some kids behind us shooting bottle rockets at appropriate times, the video projected on the side of the two story county shed, Live band playing the song with lyrics. end lead into the national anthem and then to the fireworks. Were a lot of tears rolling by the time the fireworks started.

Oh and by the way there is no full screen button on the imbed, at least not with my browser (firefox) I am not an idiot, in fact am an electronic engineer, (now retired).

Thanks Again

Oh I might add I do not regularly steal things from the internet so I had not used the youtube downloader. Didn't even know it existed. I am too busy doing things like training people for their concealed carry or attending tactical training classes to keep current with the newer stuff and stay in shape. I will be ready, Will You.
