I Will Bring You Down
[Soldier is being asked by other soldiers]
Soldier 7285, why didn't you fire?
Soldier 7285, why didn't you fire?
Soldier 7285, you are hereby notified of your court marshall for negligence of duty
Why didn't you fire?
[Soldier 7285]
I saw her eyes, I've never faced
That kind of look, that haunted grace
The way she died so willing just to
Die for love. To die for love
What kind of masters must I serve
That make this into such a world
Where one must break such beauty and
Break this to pass with such cruel hands?
Soldier 7285, is who I am
It is my life
But I perceive another place
And it must be built upon your grave
And I will bring you down
I will bring you down
I will bring you down
And if I fall, someone will see
The way I went, just like she
With eyes of love and heart of light
They too will fight, they too will fight
Today, I say it will begin
Today, I will begin your end
Today the wind that comes, portends
Will be your end, will be your end
And I will bring you down
I will bring you down
I will bring you down
I will bring you
I'll bring you down
I'll bring you down
I'll bring you down
I'll bring you down
And I will bring you down
I'll bring you down, I'll bring you down
I'll bring you down
