lyrics

With nothing to lose in his life,
And a forty-five,
He walked alone in the cold night,
Looking for the killer of his lovely wife.

And with a gun in both hands,
Riding a horse in the desert sands.
Running away with his twenty-six thousand,
worth of gold piece life.

Or with the sword of his father,
And ambition in his eyes.
The young man sailed his boat,
With a skull drawn upon his black flag.

These are all lovely ways to die.

A dying man in his bed,
Who had a very long life,
Singing a song in his head,
About a little less lonely way to die.

With shields in their hands,
Lost warriors in foreign lands,
They beat the drums as they stood,
On the walls of Jerusalem.

Branded enemies of the state,
Fighting for a better day,
Men and Women without faces,
Facing uniforms and shields on this very dark day.

And a fool he was called,
Fighting for the rights of all,
''I have a dream'' he proclaimed,
As he stood without fear, forever tall.

These are all lovely ways to die.

A dying man in a cell,
Who had a very short life,
Singing a song in his head,
About a little less violent way to die.
