Letra de Giving up the gun (corregida)

Your sword´s grown old and rusty,
burnt beneath the rising sun
It´s locked up like a trophy,
forgetting all the things it´s done
And though it´s been a long time,
you´re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you?re giving up the gun

When I was 17, I had wrists like steel
and I felt complete
And now my body fades behind a brass charade
and I´m obsolete
But if the chance remains to see those better days,
I´d cut the cannons down
My ears are blown to bits from all the rifle hits,
but still I crave that sound

Your sword´s grown old and rusty,
burnt beneath the rising sun
It´s locked up like a trophy,
forgetting all the things it´s done
And though it´s been a long time,
you´re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you?re giving up the gun

I heard you play guitar down at a seedy bar
where skinheads used to fight
Your Tokugawa smile and your garbage style
used to save the night
You felt the coming wave, told me we´d all be brave,
you said you wouldn´t flinch
But in the years that passed since I saw you last,
you haven´t moved an inch

Your sword´s grown old and rusty,
burnt beneath the rising sun
It´s locked up like a trophy,
forgetting all the things it´s done
And though it´s been a long time,
you´re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you?re giving up the gun

I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on

Your sword´s grown old and rusty
burnt beneath the rising sun
It´s locked up like a trophy,
forgetting all the things it´s done
And though it´s been a long time,
you´re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
that now you?re giving up the gun
