Your sword's grown
old and rusty
burnt beneath the
rising sun
It's locked up
like a trophy
forgetting all the
things it's done
And though it's been
a long time
you're right back where
you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you're
giving up the gun
When I was seventeen
I had wrists like steel
and I felt comple..te
And now my body fades
behind a brass charade
and I'm obsole..te
But if the chance
remains to see
those better days
I'd cut the
cannons do...wn
My ears are
blown to bits
from all the rifle hits
but still I crave
that so...und
Your sword's grown
old and rusty
burnt beneath the
rising sun
It's locked up
like a trophy
forgetting all the
things it's done
And though it's been
a long time
you're right back where
you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you're
giving up the gun
I heard you play guitar
down at a seedy bar
where skinheads
used to fight
Your Tokugawa smile
in your garbage style
used to save the night
You felt the coming wave
told me we'd all be brave
you said you wouldn't
flinch
But in the years
that passed
since I saw you last
you haven't moved
an inch
Your sword's grown
old and rusty
burnt beneath the
rising sun
It's locked up
like a trophy
forgetting all the
things it's done
And though it's been
a long time
you're right back where
you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you're
giving up the gun
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
I see you shine
in your way
go on, go on, go on
Your sword's grown
old and rusty
burnt beneath the
rising sun
It's locked up
like a trophy
forgetting all the
things it's done
And though it's been
a long time
you're right back where
you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you're
