lyrics

Crossfire

Driven by sorrow beyond any doubt
Caught in a crossfire, no one gets out
What it’s like to lose it all
No retreat, no defeat, no surrender at all

Head down, raise the pikes
And marchin’ off to foreign lands
Crush the foe, paid to fight someone else’s war

Swiss mercs in red coats
Refusal to take prisoners
Paid to die, no more chimes for yesterday’s crimes

Chorus

Cheap labor, no favor
True lost of dignity
State of rule, state of things, time of the kings

Back home, change of life
Work the fields lay down the shields
Simple men, simple life, ain’t got no strife

Chorus

Brute force, straight forward
Steamroller pike-attacks
Served overseas and out in the east

To lose it all, no retreat, no defeat, no surrender at all
