Father can you help me now
Ive fallen weak again
Father can you hear me now
I cant go on

[A-CHORUS:]
Pushed to far
Meet my standards
Make them proud

Kill because I tell you to
Firstborn son
Dont want to see no tears

[B-CHORUS:]
The dream appears
When I close my eyes
Someday that bastard dies

Son he says
Youll be sent away
To make me proud
And to make them pay

Baptised by fire
Baptised by fire

Seems like only yesterday
I was a boy without a care
Now I got to make them pay
Or be sent home in a bag

[A+B CHORUSES]

Father tells me not to cry
Youre a man and not a boy
He tells me hold my head up high
Even when Ive got nothing to pride

Listen to mamma boy and youll be weak
Do as I say and not as I do
He says its nothing when he needs a drink
Boy Im a man and I made you

[A+B CHORUSES]

Youve got no right
To send off to war
Kill or be killed
Are you proud while Im being scarred?

They say that Im a soldier now
Time to show your might
Feels like spending time in hell
And my mind isnt right

Ten years later tell them I am a man
But Im still locked away
Father says didnt go as planned
Ashamed of me so its best I stay

[A+B CHORUSES]
