Joseph Arthur - I Donated Myself To The Mexican Army 歌词

I donated myself to the mexican army
We were 10000 guns shooting into the night
Turning screams into sand and sand into blood
And murdering darkness with fire and light

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

Out in the field there's no such thing as mercy
We bloom through the night into flowers of death
"I don't beleieve any thing that I've said"
Jesus was heard saying under his breath

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

I donated myself to the mexican army
I gave all my love to a mexican whore
I gave her my dreams and I gave her my money
I buried my family under her floor

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution

I wish I believed in divine destinations
I wish I believed in a world made of light
The needles are biting the arms of salvation
And the mexican army is trained and ready to fight

I don't know where we're going from here
I'm just following orders
I don't know how we'll conquer the king
This ain't my revolution
