I heard a million stories
Of what i did today
But i couldn't feel the glory
As i carried him away

No i'm not crying,
Just burning inside
I won't stop trying
To stay alive
At least for a while...

I'm a brave young boy,
I'm the nation's toy
And i'm working hard
In the far backyard
Now i am nowhere
'cause they sent me here
I don't know if i'm going to stay...

Was afraid of dying
But now it's all the same
I might be escapin'
Or i might feed the flame
But i'll remember
The scene of the crime
Until the angels
Knock on my door
And tell me the score...

I'm a brave young boy,
I'm the nation's toy
And i'm working hard
In the far backyard
Now i am nowhere
'cause they sent me here
I don't know if i'm going to stay...

If i don't go insane
Don't know who i should blame
Think i've gone all the way,
No one left to betray
So i don't know if i'm going to stay
