lyrics
Always wanted to be a soldier
since I was three years old
but then I grew a little older
Thats when my asthma put that dream on hold
spent time working on a dairy farm
for a while I thought I’d made it good
but then I lost my mother
thats when I found the YPG brotherhood
Pay a high price
roll the last die
don’t think twice
I told my father I was travelling
shit I don’t like to lie
I travelled on the sand roads to Rojava
And when I arrived I told him I was alright
Pay a high price
roll the last die
don’t think twice
My nom de guerra was Givara Rojava
I was a soldier in war for something worth fighting for
In the siege of Manbij city
days and nights spent pushing that line
bullets flying men were crying
sleep was hard to find
I see a young brother running
running for a beat up door
rigged to blow and it blew out
blew his ass straight to the floor
Pay a high price
roll the last die
don’t think twice
I dropped my gear and I was running so fast
a thirty metre dash into the darkness of the blast
In the kingdom of the blind
the one eyed man is king
I ran into my mother arms
and the rest feels
Just like a dream.
