Gravy Train!!!! - Messenger lyrics

Messenger swift, won't you tell me the words that you carry Stop for a moment and lie with me, I pray you'll tarry Five more young men who'll never be able to marry How long will this war last before you die too? Before you die too? Messenger, see, I am stricken for my body is crying Help me to rest, I am spent, I can hear my heart sighing Look well upon the face of a man who is dying How long will this war last before you die too? Before you die too? Messenger, messenger, quickly, I have something for you Take it away to the men who I first saw you writing to Their spark will tell the cries left alive then what he will do (?) So heed ye well, ye men, lest ye all die too Lest ye all die too Ahhh... Ahhh...
