Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
Fortune may hold you, she's not your friend
Kind words spoken, bows deepened
Foulest creature may wear the sweetest smile
Oh, do not fear for I will see you in a while
Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
Eyes upon you through the years
All of your troubles, all of your fear
Always watching, always see
I am you now and you are me
If I should fall, you take my sword
All that is mine will be yours
Do not fear those we leave behind
The blood that runs in your veins, it is mine
Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
Yeah, by that time, may you not fear death anymore
I am a stone fallin' through black water
On the bottom, I start again
I am a stone fallin' through black water
My fall, it never ends
My fall, it never ends
Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
Come paint my face, come take my hand
I do not wish you to understand
Someday you too will go to war
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
And by that time, may you not fear death anymore
