lyrics

This fight is my memento mori.
These armed beastly men
have wounded and surrounded me.

Let my purple heart bleed (please come home now, please come back to me).
These machine guns will not scare me (please come home now, please come back to me).

Now I welcome death.
Take hold of freedom, and
open fire until my last breath.

Let my purple heart bleed (please come home now, please come back to me).
These machine guns will not scare me (please come home now, please come back to me).

I have infinite resignation.
I don't need any anodyne.
Truth is unveiled in affliction.

Let my purple heart bleed (please come home now, please come back to me).
These machine guns will not scare me (please come home now, please come back to me).
Man-made thunder rips right through me. I'm sorry, baby. I won't be coming home.
(Your baby grows inside me; I'm so scared, I can't do this alone.)

So it goes. So it goes.
So it goes. So it goes and I am
gone.
