lirik lagu the trooper’s lament – rowan the bard

in my 18th year, a bold recruiting sergeant came to town
saying, “here’s an opportunity for glory and renown.”
in a coat of olive green she stood, and pointed right at me
saying “son, you’ll be a trooper, and you’ll see the galaxy

“you’ll have some fine adventures, and who knows? before you’re done
you may even get the chance to fight some filthy rebel scum
you’ll help spread law and order, and you’ll earn an honest pay.”
so i stepped up to that sergeant and i signed my lifе away

(chorus)
so i took the white, for to join the fight
and across thе stars to roam
for the empire’s dole i sold my soul
and i’m never going home
no, don’t think i’m going home
at academy i learned a trooper’s lot was bottom rung
they would chew us up and spit us out, like so much bantha dung
our beds were made of ferrocrete, and i found it hard to tell
if a mining stint on kessel would have been a lesser h*ll

so i took the white, for to join the fight
and across the stars to roam
for the empire’s dole i sold my soul
and i’m never going home
no, don’t think i’m going home

after ten long months of eating food not fit to serve a droid
i reported to the brass to find out where i’d be deployed
i had visions of an isd, but found, to my chagrin
the orders had come down to send me to the outer rim

so i took the white, for to join the fight
and across the stars to roam
for the empire’s dole i sold my soul
and i’m never going home
no, don’t think i’m going home

now i’m stuck on this backwater, with no chance to prove my sk!ll
if the searing heat won’t k!ll you, then the boredom surely will
i was promised grand adventures, chasing bold and new frontiers
but that horizon’s been the same for my whole d*mn career
so i took the white, for to join the fight
and across the stars to roam
for the empire’s dole i sold my soul
and i’m never going home
no, don’t think i’m going home

so beware the bold recruiter, take this warning now by me
they’ll talk of all the good you’ll do, and all the sights you’ll see
but it’s the center of the galaxy i’m stationed furthest from…
and blasting merchants and torching farms is not why i signed on

so i took the white, for to join the fight
and across the stars to roam
for the empire’s dole i sold my soul
and i’m never going home
for the empire’s dole i sold my soul
and i’m never going home
no, i’m never going home
no, i’m never going home
no, don’t think i’m going home
