He searched for death and it found him
He looked for life and he lived
He asked for pain and he got it
Heaven's never had a hero like him
He killed two people but their daughter
He couldn't bring himself to kill
So he gave her a name, he fed her and he raised her
He was a friend and a brother to that girl
He was a soldier back then he fought his heart out
And he was killed in Zanzibar
Those scientist turned him into an experiment
And his soul turned empty just like his shattered heart
He searched for death and it found him
He looked for life and he lived
He asked for pain and he got it
Hell has never had a hero like him
He walked this world a shadow
Neither truly alive nor truly dead
He helped save the world in Shadow Moses
And he died a second hero's death
He even left a message for his sister and this is what he said
"Even now she still calls me her brother
But every time I look at her
I see her parents' eyes staring back at me
Tell her that I was the one who did it
Tell her that I was the one who killed her parents"
So then he ran towards him death
With such incredible speed
I've never seen nothing like it
And when he knew he was going to die
He said this to me
"We're not tools of the government or anyone else
Fighting was the only thing I was good at
But at least I always thought for what I believed in
Snake, farewell"
He searched for death and it found him
He looked for life and he lived
He asked for pain and he got it
And now he's in a resting place made for heroes like him
He looked for life and he lived
He asked for pain and he got it
Heaven's never had a hero like him
He killed two people but their daughter
He couldn't bring himself to kill
So he gave her a name, he fed her and he raised her
He was a friend and a brother to that girl
