Soldier Up

[Intro]
Free rein is a dark horse
And rhythm guitar is a wash like the ocean
Let’s dig in and let go the grip of home

[Verse 1]
I number my days in no definite way
I'm a clean pair of boots on a battlefield grave
Wherever we go, ever in tow

[Chorus]
And Death!
Death, tremble to take me, love
Assemble and make me tough
Better than who we are

[Verse 2]
Speaking from a dark place
Message dictated but nеver read
Go on give in and lеt go the grip of home

[Verse 3]
I have triangulated just where I belong
Its points are the ocean, the city and song
Wherever we go, ever in tow

[Chorus]
And Death!
Death, tremble to take me, love
Assemble and make me tough
Better than who we are

[Bridge]
She, understandably, is ready to be free
Should be no great mystery

[Verse 4]
Pacific blood floods through my heart
My pulse greets the tide at a high water mark
And then I’m swallowed whole
In a breach of patrol
Until my breath is gone

[Chorus]
And Death!
Death, tremble to take me, love
Assemble and make me tough
Better than who we are

[Outro]
She, understandably, is ready to be free
Should be no great mystery
