Close your eyes, I know what you see
The darkness is high, and you're in ten feet deep
But we've survived more terrible monsters than sleep
And you know I will be here to tell you to breathe
Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione per cui vivo (the reason I live)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)
Stumbling lost, the last choice of all that you meet
It's the cost of ruling those 'neath your feet
Paths you've crossed, and trust you're trying to keep
You're exhausted, listening for a voice that can't speak
(Ma nico, mio caro)
Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione ho vissuto (the reason I lived)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)
So you run, through shadows you roam
Seams undone by the love you thought you could own
But he's just one of many that you might call home
And maybe someday, the bitter will fade from your bones
Eri il mio soldatino (you were my little soldier)
Ora un principe oscuro (now, a dark prince)
Ma anche per te, c'è una luce
(But even for you, there is a light)
Che ad un'altra vita ti conduce (that leads you to another life)
