Comrad
(Notes: Unchanged from original notes, except for the additional info on the songs it’s roots are in.)
I turned around and looked at him
The pain from within
Comrads we were, Soldiers as we fought
Friends as we talked
Brothers as we walked
Comrads we were, louder than the call
Giving it our all
Rise above the fall
I turned and looked at him
The pain from within
And I won’t forget, the times that we shared
And when I had dared
To show me you care
And I won’t forget, always chasing it
Going for the win
Fighting the pain from within
I turned around and looked at him
The pain, the struggle from within
You showed me how to fight
The pain destroying my light
wanting me to die inside
but in the end it tried
to put up my biggest fight
driving the nail in my mind.
Always we had fought, never getting caught
Though it never talked
It knew all our thoughts
Always we had fought, but coming to the end
The friends life it bent
Taking away another comrad
I turned around and looked at him
The pain that’s from within
And I’ll never let you forget
The comrad you took and bent
