Queensryche – A Dead Man's Words Lyrics  Share

From Queensryche's album: American Soldier

I trace what^,s left of my
Cold steel... as it twitches.
Apply the tourniquet tight.
Savor the moment, this might be my last sip of life.

I see at least one hundred miles
Of shifting, stirring sand.
A forsaken man in this strangers^, land.
They^,ve left me for... dead.

I^,m so tired of feeling scared
But I^,ve got to find a way.
I^,ve got this gun in my hand,
Blood on my tongue as I write
Dead man^,s words.

The word we hear is
There^,s one man down and he^,s alive.
They ask for volunteers.
I raise my hand high.
I^,m sure he^,d do the same for me.

It^,s three days through the desert heat
To save one man^,s life and
I don^,t even know his name.

And I^,m so tired and my thirst is strong.
I might not make it back alive.
But I^,ve got my gun at my side.
There^,s just one fear I can^,t hide and it^,s

A dead man^,s words in the sand!

Out in the desert, so tired!
And I don^,t even know his name.
I will keep my head down!

I^,m so tired but there^,s no way out
But... ahead!
I will not die out in the desert!
I will not die!
I will keep my head down!

How many days pass?
Hard to tell in the desert.
The wind says... nothing.
I move, the bullet bites,
Infected to the bone.
Will it find its home... before me?
I pray that you find me soon
Before I slip away.

I^,m so tired but I^,ve got to hang on.
I^,ve just got to make it one more night.
I^,ve got this gun in my hand.
I^,ve got blood on my tongue.
One last time I write
Dead man^,s words... out in the desert.
So tired!
