Courage fading as you walk away
Had a million other things to say
Then you turned away and I thought I'd shout
Like a coward i just chicken out
Two men standing on an open green
20 paces, no one in between
Angry trigger on a smoking gun
See the coward as he turns to run
From the Colonel
Royal Army on his Father's Side
You're a coward, you can run but you can never hide
I keep on running from the bayonets and cannonballs
I accuse you of deserting our moe.st worthy cause
The soldiers death is living hell.. escape is death, or run away
Get back in line so you can fight for me another day
No bloody way, I'm gonna run, so shoot me in the back
The bullet flies, The coward falls
The Colonel's knife comes from his pack
Look over here boys gonna carve me out a souvenir
I'll take a nose, I'll take an eye, I'll take the coward's ear
Till the coward turned around, he held his gun in hand
Then the colonel's dropped his knife he tried to turn away and run
I'm gonna end this with a bullet from my gun in hand!!
THE BLOOD, THE BAYONETS, THE GORE, THE DEATH, THE CANNONBALL!!!
Rides the Colonel's horse back to his home
His children kiss him, he returns alone
His wife hugs him, nothing left to say
The fighting's over, everybody ran away
