Prompt / Lyrics
Mama cried when I signed the line Said, "Son, don't you go too far." But freedom ain't free, it costs a dime And sometimes leaves a lasting scar You gotta laugh at the reaper, stare him down, Smile like a fool when he comes around. If you're runnin' through hell, don’t hesitate, Death ain’t a fear when it’s already your fate. The boots are laced, the ground feels cold, Steel in my hand, but my heart won't fold. A letter in my pocket, a name in my prayer, Each step's a gamble, but I’m already there. Civilians watch, they don’t see through, What a man’s gotta face when the dust turns blue. You gotta laugh at the reaper, stare him down, Smile like a fool when he comes around. If you're runnin' through hell, don’t hesitate, Death ain’t a fear when it’s already your fate. The fire roars, the sky turns black, No room for regrets, no turnin’ back. My brother’s beside me, his eyes like steel, We carry the weight that no one can feel. They sit at home, safe and sound, But they’ll never know this battleground. You gotta laugh at the reaper, stare him down, Smile like a fool when he comes around. If you're runnin' through hell, don’t hesitate, Death ain’t a fear when it’s already your fate. Dusty boots, worn-out leather Another town, another war They ask me how I face the weather Of bullets flyin' at my door They don't know, no they don't know What it takes to let it go You gotta laugh at the reaper, stare him down, Smile like a fool when he comes around. If you're runnin' through hell, don’t hesitate, Death ain’t a fear when it’s already your fate.
