The Price of Command

This is the price of commanding--
You always stand alone,
Let no one near
To see the fear
Behind the mask you've grown
This is the price of commanding

This is the price of commanding--
That you watch your dearest die,
Sending women and men
To fight again,
And never tell them why
This is the price of commanding

This is the price of commanding--
Mistakes are signed in red--
And you won't pay, but others may,
And your best may wind up dead
This is the price of commanding

This is the price of commanding--
All the deaths that haunt your sleep
And you hope they forgive
And so you live
With their memories buried deep.
This is the price of commanding.

This is the price of commanding--
That if you won't, others will.
So take you post,
Salute each ghost--
You've a debt to them to fill
This is the price of commanding.
This is the price of commanding.
This is the Price -- of commanding.

I think this song is indeed tell the truth about it realy. In basic think about people who have choosen to command must do like this if they want to be succesfull.

his voice is perfect, I like the the drum beat in the background, it pulls the song on makes the lament seem warlike
