A Dead Man's Words Lyrics - American Soldier - Queensryche

I trace what's left of my cold steel 

As it twitches 

Apply the tourniquet tight, savor the moment 

This might be my last sip of life 

I see these one hundred miles 

Of shifting, stirring sand 

A forsaken man in this strangers' land 

They've left me for dead 

I'm so tired of feeling scared 

But I've got to find a way 

I've got this gun in my hand 

I got blood on my tongue 

As I write dead man's words 

The word we hear is 

"There's one man down," and he's alive 

They ask for volunteers, I raise my hand high 

I'm sure he'd do the same for me

It's three days through the desert heat 

To save one man's life 

And I don't even know his name 

I'm so tired and my thirst is strong 

I might not make it back alive 

I've got my gun at my side 

There's just one fear I can't hide 

And it's a dead man's words 

Dead Man's words in the sand 

Out in the desert, so tired! 

And I don't even know his name. 

I will keep my head down! 

I'm so tired but there's no way out 

but... ahead! 

I will not die out in the desert! 

I will not die! 

I will keep my head down!

How many days pass? Hard to tell 

In the desert, the wind says nothing 

I move, the bullet bites, infected to the bone 

Will it find its home before me? 

I pray that you find me soon 

Before I slip away 

I'm so tired but I've got to hang on 

I've just got to make it one more night 

I've got this gun in my hand 

I've got blood on my tongue 

One last time I write dead man's words 

I'm tired, so tired 

I keep my head down 

I'm so tired 

I will keep my head down 

Keep my head down
