Lyrics
Slow down, weary soldier, Settle down and rest your head
Encouragement to a fatigued soldier to slow down, settle, and rest.
Listen to the morning rising, It's subtle but it's there
Advising the soldier to pay attention to the subtle beauty of the morning.
Slow down, weary soldier, Don't you dare leave me, my friend
An earnest plea for the soldier not to leave, expressing a strong bond.
I know your bones are close to breaking, But this is not the end
Acknowledgment of the soldier's hardships but emphasizing it's not the end.
I'm friends with a soldier, But who's leading this army
Questioning the leadership dynamics within the army, highlighting uncertainty.
As lost as we are, We conquer this manifestation of war
Despite feeling lost, there's determination to overcome the effects of war.
I'm friends with a soldier, But who's leading this army
Reiteration of the uncertainty in leadership and determination to conquer.
As lost as we are, We conquer this manifestation of war
Continued expression of determination amidst confusion in war.
Slow down, weary soldier, You won't find it if you try
Advising the soldier that rushing won't help, implying the need for patience.
Is it true that as you're drifting, Your life is flashing by
Raising a question about the perception of time during difficult moments.
Slow down, weary soldier, Do you pray when you're afraid
Encouragement to pray in times of fear, suggesting faith as a source of strength.
I heard he lights the path you walk on, And hope it leads to me
Referencing someone who lights the path and expressing hope for a connection.
I'm friends with a soldier, But who's leading this army
Repetition of the questioning of leadership within the army.
As lost as we are, We conquer this manifestation of war
Emphasizing determination in facing the manifestation of war despite being lost.
I'm friends with a soldier, But who's leading this army
Reiteration of the uncertainty in leadership and determination to conquer.
As lost as we are, We conquer this manifestation of war
Continued expression of determination amidst confusion in war.
Mayday, mayday, man down

Mayday, mayday, man down

Mayday, mayday, man down
