about

Through the flames of war, a soldier is marching futilely towards his end. He is forged and lost within the inertia of someone else’s choices. This song is a juxtaposition between a small Sparrow and a solider hallowed by his life and death through the horrors of war.

lyrics

I am a soldier
Marching with his gun
Pointed at the sun
Someone else’s fun

Hunting the Sparrow
That flies around my head
With tiny balls of lead
And a handful of bread

Sparrows on the wing
Raise their voices sing out West
Old church bells they ring
Like a bullet in the breast

Pouring the water
Little Sparrow’s dead
A place to lay his head
While wild roses grow red

I am a soldier
Still I march in vain
Where silver bullets rain
A war I can’t explain

Sparrows on the wing
Raise their voices sing out West
Old church bells they ring
Like a bullet in the breast

Take this life Hallowed by the flame
Hold it tight one more soldier taking aim

I was a soldier
Marching with his gun
Pointed at the sun
Someone else’s fun.
