From the recording Surviving the Echoes
Lyrics
These lines on my face
Speak not of my age
No, they’re just the cracks starting to show
But there was a time
I was strong as these pines
But the forest so long ago was laid bare And don’t tell me about pride
‘Cause this is the part...
This is the part...
The part we all fear
My old man died
when I was away
And I’d give my life just to speak with him again
but I don’t know what I’d say
Meanwhile I watched
as my comrades were slain
Funny what the bullets that miss your head will do to your brain
So this is the part...
This is the part...
The part we all fear
I do not fear death
‘cause I’ve seen him before
I ran across him in the jungle when I was just a kid and I pinned his ass to the floor
But he touched my hip
That’s why I walk with this limp
Now when people call my name I forget to look up ‘
Hell I don’t know who I am
But he said he’d be back
That he’d bide his time
Now I’m gonna lose this second round But I’ think I’ve earned that right
Still, this is the part...
This is the part...
This is the part...
The part we all fear
The part we all fear
But oh do not fear
Have no fear
