Inspired by events in Syria this week

[intro]

[verse 1]

I felt the beads of sweat roll down into my eyes,

my hands were tied behind my back, they stung.

The Captain came up and wiped my brow for me,

put a wide-brimmed hat on my head, so young.

[verse 2]

I noticed a tear in his eye, made out it was dust,

feigning to check the rope, he whispered in my ear.

May God take your soul, and forgive us what we do,

If I were a better man, it could be me who's standin' here.

[chorus]

Any last words, before I send your soul to heaven,

The Captain was in pain, he struggled with the task.

Tell my wife, I love her, to give my son a kiss from me,

carry on the fight, till all the people are free.

[verse 3]

His hands were shaking, as he put the blindfold on.

The memories of a lifetime, rolled across my eyes.

Childhood times and passionate nights entwined,

The sadness of the loneliness and no goodbyes.

[chorus]

Any last words, before I send your soul to heaven,

The Captain was in pain, he struggled with the task.

Tell my wife, I love her, to give my son a kiss from me,

carry on the fight, till all the people are free.

[bridge]

I focused on the vision of my wife in my mind,

The Captains voice was clear and loud,

Take Aim........the gunfire erupted all around,

I felt my body fallin' to the ground.

[chorus]

Any last words, before I send your soul to heaven,

The Captain was in pain, he struggled with the task.

Tell my wife, I love her, to give my son a kiss from me,

carry on the fight, till all the people are free.

[outro]

The light blinded my eyes, I was takin' by surprise,

The Captain's face was smilin', helped me to my feet.

There was cheering everywhere, all across the square,

I recall those first few words, Mr President, take a seat.
