lyrics

Verse: E major ninth no3 and A7
Chorus: E (barred), D(barred), A7

You think you know your life until you take one with a knife, it's hard
to lose yourself in war although you've seen it all before, you're scarred.
A modern day grim reaper moving his sights another meter, just how
will we come back another day maybe we'll find another way, but now

just turn around
get off the ground
and make no sound
just turn around

So there's another one, you think you'll shoot him then you're done, what for?
but then you've seen him once or twice, why does he have to pay the price, for your
country to succeed all of the others have to bleed, what now?
with your finger on the trigger you imagine something bigger and vow

to turn around
get off the ground
and make no sound
just turn around

(instrumental)

A bullet strikes your chest, your lungs become compressed, you fall
into your lovers arms, there are no noises or alarms, you crawl
towards an increasingly warm light you no longer have to fight, you know
that your mother always said, this is what it's like when you are dead, and so

you turn around
get off the ground
and make no sound
just turn around
