Текст песни: Shadow of a Son + перевод

When the buildings turn to tall grass, and the yellow lights to stars

And the flag lies down at half mast, like a thousand times before

Mother don’t forget the letters, sister don’t forget to breathe

I am standing at your doorstep, you are down upon your knees

Will you taste what i have tasted, would you feel what i have felt

I don’t need you to erase it, i just need a little help

Father close the door behind you, i am not the man i was

I am standing at your doorstep, just a shadow of a son

Will you wake me if i’m screaming, will you love me if i run

Doesn’t mean i didn’t mean it, when i slipped that promise on you

And darling don’t pour out the whiskey, you are still so beautiful

I am standing at your doorstep, we will never win this war

I am standing at your doorstep, we will never win

If they call me i will be there, shine my boots and hold my breath

Maybe i’ll come back a hero, laid to rest beneath the flag

But please don’t forget to tell them, everything that i have done

I am standing at your doorstep, i am handing you my gun

I am standing at your doorstep, i am handing you my gun

I’ll be standing at your doorstep, if i’m ever coming home
