Soldier of Fortune Lyrics

Cover art for Soldier of Fortune lyrics by Opeth

maybe its about a man whos dissapointed with life... he doesnt feel like living anymore, because his "fortune/luck" hasnt been as good as he wanted.. wasting time as he travels around the world and feeling growing older, maybe regreting all that time lost... wanted to be with a girl whos doesnt love him back, and hes thinking about holding her hand, and being with her, loving eachother... she really love her... hes getting hurt because of it. and finally surrender at the fact that his life depends of his luck/fortune.. which isnt good...

pretty deep lyrics, and a lot of feeling in this song... i love it and reminds me to certain moment in my life...
