Chapter 1 - Soldier's Last Wish

If I should die

Promise me you'll wake

Promise me you'll live

And happiness never fake.



If I die, don't die too


Promise me you'll be alright

And only smile

Never cry at night.



Live because I love you

Because you have to go on

Don't let death take over

And don't become its pawn.



Laughter is the greatest cure

I really believe that that's true

So laugh a bunch for me

Please, won't you?



Living for a dream

And living on a prayer

Those were the days

When we didn't have to care.



But that's gone now

Flown into the past

It's funny now that I think of it

I never thought it'd go that fast.


I don't want to scare you

And fill your head with bad dreams

I don't want you to wake up

To the sound of your own screams.



But if I die

Promise me you'll be alright

Promise me you'll live

And make it through another night.











I can't make any guarantee

But know how much I love you

That I'd never leave you

But now I have things that I have to do.



I'll be thinking of you

With every single step that I take

You'll be in my heart and mind

Every single hour - sleep or wake.



I love you enough to let you live

And I love you enough to wait
But now our lives

Are in the hands of Fate.



I'm sorry if I ever hurt you

Don't cry anymore, please

You know I'd do anything for you

Even crawl across the desert on my knees.



If you're reading this right now

You'll know that I'm dead

And if that's the case

Just remember the things that I said:



Stand against the pain

That burns inside your soul

No one knows tomorrow

Because destiny is out of our control.



Keep believing in tomorrow

One day we'll meet again

Don't lose your faith

Don't go mad with the pain.



I know that you can do it

Make it to another day

Laugh just one more time

Because tomorrow isn't that far away.






Keep that smile on your face

And that twinkle in your eye

Know I'll always be with you

And that I loved you enough to die.
