Cold Coda - Rifleman's Creed lyrics

rate me

This is my rifle, my dear rifle<br />

There are many like it, but this one is mine.<br />

It's useless without me, I am useless without it.<br />

My brother, my best friend, my life and my shine.<br />

<br />

We will become part of each other<br />

Myself and my rifle, we know what it's for<br />

Not the noise of the burst nor the rounds we fire<br />

It's the hits, that's what counts in this war<br />

<br />

It's the hits! <br />

<br />

Lord, Oh Lord<br />

You see it's a sore spot, lord<br />

Now show me some more, lord<br />

Of war, of sweet war<br />

<br />

My rifle is human, even as I am<br />

I'll learn all it's parts, it's barrel and sight<br />

It's useless without me, I am useless without it.<br />

My sword and my cover, my sign of divine.<br />

<br />

We will become part of each other<br />

Myself and my rifle, we know what it's for<br />

Not the noise of the burst nor the rounds we fire<br />

It's the hits, that's what counts in this war<br />

<br />

It's the hits! <br />

<br />

Lord, Oh Lord<br />

You see it's a sore spot<br />

Now show me some more<br />

Of war, of sweet war<br />

<br />

I must shoot straighter than enemy who<br />

Is trying to kill me or just trying to kill<br />

I must fire my rifle, it's the hits that what counts, <br />

And I'm sure that we will hit, we will and I will.<br />

<br />

We will become part of each other<br />

Myself and my rifle, we know what it's for<br />

Not the noise of the burst nor the rounds we fire<br />

It's the hits, that's what counts in this war<br />

<br />

We will become part of each other<br />

Myself and my rifle, we know what it's for<br />

You can fall, you can win or just standoff but rather<br />

The hits, that's what counts in this war<br />

<br />

It's the hits!
