Look away
Look away
Nothing to lose
Left east Tennessee at fourteen
Wondered to the west
Look away
Look away
Born into death
You fought the sailors in New Orleans
You worked the flat boats and walked the streets
Hit Nacogdoches in '49
And there you saw the devil for the very first time
(Chorus)
Kid don't you know me
We are the last of the true
Drink up drink up
Drink up drink up
Cause tonight your souls required of you
Signed on with a stone mad captain rode on Mexico
Look away
Look away
War behold
Jailed with killers one and all but we were killers free
Look away
Look away
Look to me
You saw the lancers 'mid heathen hordes
Bloodstained veils
And costumes of war
Hell ain't that full boy hear me
War is the game and the god we seek
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
We set out as men of reason armed with navy colts
Look away
Look away
Work paid in gold
But you stood witness to yourself our trial you did betray
Look away
Look away
To judgement day
We killed in the dessert we killed in the streets
We choose what shall and shall not be
We stood with pistols fought back to back
Now you've stood your ground but what ground is that
(Chorus)
Your mother died night you were born her name you never knew Look away Look away Nothing to lose Left east Tennessee at fourteen Wondered to the west Look away Look away Born into death You fought the sailors in New Orleans You worked the flat boats and walked the streets Hit Nacogdoches in '49 And there you saw the devil for the very first time (Chorus) Kid don't you know me We are the last of the true Drink up drink up Drink up drink up Cause tonight your souls required of you Signed on with a stone mad captain rode on Mexico Look away Look away War behold Jailed with killers one and all but we were killers free Look away Look away Look to me You saw the lancers 'mid heathen hordes Bloodstained veils And costumes of war Hell ain't that full boy hear me War is the game and the god we seek (Chorus) (Bridge) We set out as men of reason armed with navy colts Look away Look away Work paid in gold But you stood witness to yourself our trial you did betray Look away Look away To judgement day We killed in the dessert we killed in the streets We choose what shall and shall not be We stood with pistols fought back to back Now you've stood your ground but what ground is that (Chorus) Explain Request ×
