The Closer I Get Lyrics

"The Closer I Get"

© Gregory Poirier 2023

Ten thousand soldiers marching

Seven horsemen ride

One man leading them

To the other side

Separate factions dressed for action

Bleeding in the sun

Cloak and dagger, lifeless stagger

The world has come undone

Hypnotized, I close my eyes

Hear the siren's call

Rocket fire, war's desire

The shot before I fall

And the closer I get, the more I regret

That my time has come

Revolution in the air

They have the upper hand

He won the battle, but lost the war

And waits to take command

Men in line, they stand behind

Guard without a sound

What he doesn't know won't hurt him

The gun has one more round

And the closer he gets, the more he regrets

That his time had come

And the closer they get, the more they regret

That their time has come

(Instrumental)

Through the skies, we hear their cries

Explosions in the air

On the ground without a sound

Death is waiting there

Blinding light through the dead of night

Prayer becomes a plea

With their covered faces

Only God can set them free

And the closer we get, the more we regret

That our time has come

And the closer we get, the more we regret

That our time has come

And the closer we get, the more we regret

That our time has come

And the closer we get, the more we regret

That our time has come
