Time to Die - Patto

It’s all behind

It’s time to rest

Time to die

Light, the morning light filled your sky

Silver wings you made to fly

The things you saw that made you cry

Never ever thought you would die

Was a time you were you and strong

Didn’t fear any man

You ruled the day

It’s time to rest

Your race is run

You gave your best

Light, the morning light filled your sky

Silver wings you made to fly

The things you saw that made you cry

Never ever thought you would die

Was a time you were you and strong

Didn’t fear any man

You ruled the day

Back to back we stand with one other

Wasn’t anyone alive who could make us run for cover

Nor could break my land

Rain didn’t come but we could haul and make a living

You’d never hear a moan we just took what we was given

We came through all the same

Was a time you were you and strong

Didn’t fear any man

You ruled the day

You had the bed and the women who were willing

There was blood on the land we hung a man for killing

Hung his neck till he went blue

Ice cold night when I lost my only woman

For the past ten years I feel my time-a-coming

I came through all the same

Lord, I’m seeing your arms reaching down for me
