Le Mercenaire

I pitched my tent with Joshua’s army when the sun stood still I rode in with the chosen ones on the plain of Jezreel And the battle’s final noise was the dying drummer boys pounding the snare
Mercenaire Mercenaire Mercenaire Everywhere
Scorched the earth beneath the hooves of Sherman’s cavalry Spilled the blood of my own blood in a ride to the sea
I hunted long in the Black Hills for Geronimo
From Standing Rock to Wounded Knee down to Mexico
Then in one quick glimpse of hell you can see what i have to sell as the smoke clears the air
Mercenaire Mercenaire Mercenaire Everywhere
I rode in at Balaklava i lie in Flanders Field
I live by the clash of the armies and the cold blue steel From Wall Street to Lebanon i’m the face behind the bombs bursting in air
Mercenaire Mercenaire Mercenaire Everywhere
Mercenaire Mercenaire Mercenaire Everywhere
