Based on "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Eric Bloom and Michael Moorcock



You see me now a veteran, of a thousand Psycho deaths
I've been living at This Time Round
Where the fans in limbo snore
And I'm young enough to look at -
I'm Alzarian you see
All the scars are on the inside
And I'm not sure
If she'll ever say she loves me

Chorus:
Don't let these deaths go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's This Time Round that leaves
I've been dying in the Flames
You've been shooting at my brain
Oh please, don't let these deaths go on

You ask me why I'm leary,
Why I won't speak to you
But you kill me when I'm silent,
You mangle me through and through
And your war's still going on dear,
And there's no end that I know,
And I can't say if we're ever,
Ever gonna be free

CHORUS:

(GUITAR SOLO)

You see me now a veteran,
Of a thousand psycho deaths
Your energy spent at last
And my ardour is inflamed
You've used up all your weapons,
And I'm helpless at your feet
Wounds are all I'm made of
And did I hear you say
That maybe you loved me?

CHORUS:
Don't let these deaths go on
It's time we had a break from it
Lick me on the ear
Watch my pride and glory swell
Let it slide into your well
Oh please, don't let these deaths go on
Don't let these deaths go on
Don't let these deaths go on...
