taoreta - ballad of a warrior lyrics
introduction
some will welcome me with open arms and shower me with praise, whilst others will call for my head and reign on my parade…
1st verse
lambs to the slaughter, slaves to the labour, forever chasing paper
capturing moments snapchat, insta
instant pleasure, what’s your poison?
playing the position, knowing the statistics
battling with serpents until the crack of dawn
lost in a train of thought
how do you endure? live fast, die young
another one buried
mourn for my comrades no matter what age
wipe away the tears
locking h+rns with lady dеath, grabbing fear by the jaw
today’s not the day babе
backing off into the light
still got fight in me with every last breath that i take
keeping integrity at all costs
even if they corner me, outnumber me
standing firm like the roots of a tree
a warrior never leaves a man behind…
chorus
ballard of a warrior
last man standing
wrestle with the reaper, seen so many fall
capture the hearts of millions, some call us heroes others call us villains
(x2)
one day the heavens will pour, until then we are ready for war!
one day the tables will turn, until then we will shape the world!
through sickness and in health
defenders of the universe, death is not an option
till the job is done!
ballard of a warrior…
2nd verse
the only company i keep is me, so the only company i keep is misery
lost many friends i ain’t looking for more
some became family others became strangers
you can never walk a mile in my shoes
everybody’s replaceable
but they can never replicate what you do
so i smile at the doubt it’s the underdogs year
if they don’t let us in
then we’re turning up the heat
hijack like pirates from the caribbean
minus the haters, multiple the ransoms
we ain’t leaving empty handed
spreading like a virus that engages your membranes
wake from the slumber, raise from the shackles
you are more important, know your worth
the battlefield is levelled, it’s our turn!
chorus
ballard of a warrior
last man standing
wrestle with the reaper, seen so many fall
capture the hearts of millions, some call us heroes others call us villains
(x2)
one day the heavens will pour, until then we are ready for war!
one day the tables will turn, until then we will shape the world!
through sickness and in health
defenders of the universe, death is not an option
till the job is done!
ballard of a warrior
