(verse 1)

Lonely cries and crucified tears

Terror slices from darkened graves

The moon cries over desperate years

"every right" my warrior

devils run from my warrior.

(verse 2)

Prayers kiss this requiem

hunger grovels at feet gone before

no regrets - not these young men

"every right" my warrior

Devils run from my warrior.

(verse 3)

Jesus whispers in the trenches

Souls are summoned in a dark divide

guts and fists - a parent clenches

now my own is on his way

"every right" my warrior

devils run from my warrior

(verse 4)

Anguish sides with the innocents

rain engulfs healthy marrow

mortal secrets told in confidence

not this time, my warrior

(verse 5)

Sinners howl at the nothingness

spirits drink down a thirsty toll

Now its selfish I must confess

sweet twilight for my warrior

devils pass on my warrior

(verse 6)

Ambush waits - Raven's last chance

watch the crossfire -hold on one more day

bargains made in midnight penance

watch your back now, my warrior .

get your friends out, my warrior

(chorus)

No more time for their childhood toys

thanks to God, and these soldier boys

"every right we now enjoy"

keeps the eyes of heaven crying...

"Thousand yard stare" - grew up hard and fast

more flags are flying here at half-mast

Poured in blood - this hymn is cast...

"every right" my warrior

 devils run from my warrior

"every right" my warrior

devils run hard from my warrior

(bridge &. outro)

Take me back to the simple years

you're too young to cry these tears

swallow back ' my growing fears

I'm at peace now my warrior

Fate just return my warrior

My child my warrior.

I'll just say "thank you" to my warrior.
