[hook]
For the sake of thee,
I stood my ground
[Verse]
For the sake of thee,
I bore the sound...
[bridge]
He fell in the twilight, where shadows grow long
My love in my arms, his breath a soft song
Whispered farewells on an autumn night's air
His spirit now wanders, with none left to care
If I were a whisper in the night's gentle breeze
I'd follow his soul, o'er the dark, endless seas
I stood my ground...
[verse]
For the sake of thee,
I bore the sound...
[verse]
Of bullets as they whistled past.
And each one sang: All flesh is grass.
[verse]
Ere long came one that laid me low
And falling as I felt the blow
For thy sake, watched my red blood flow
And lying still... that’s all I know.
[Bridge]
[verse]
I had not lived ten thousand days.
I might have died in a hundred ways.
But for thee I chose this price to pay...
Go!
[verse]
And bring to me that sacred fire.
Set thy torch to my funeral pyre.
And even as I burn for thee...
Know...
[verse]
Thou hast not seen the last of me.
