Analysis of A soldier's tale
I'm the one with swords,
Looking all dark over sea .
Storms sharp as knife ,
covering sweet like melody . Clearing my way through the sea.
Angels all around .
making my soul roar,
for a sacrifice for all,
I'll burn down along.
Now I'm a star , twinkling in the night sky.
proud of every moment very high .
Past was hell ,
Present looks forward ,
Future is a mystery .
But I'll return back , to protect my land .
Wait for me ,
A new world my god will send me.
I'll come back and reply , because they made many die, and my country cry .
God is with me , he'll punish them .
He'll show justice , and take my revenge.
