I'd love to cry though.
If only so I could say I've done all I can
But there's nothing left to cry.
Damn proud too.
I've got a cross on my back and a crown on my head.
And they're heavy
Two rings on one finger
and they're heavy
I'm tired and I've sweated out any water left in this body
Nothing left to cry tonight.
But give me some time to drink.
I'll drink to your dead.
Those who fell before me.
Those who died trying
