I am a Dorsai and I've learned a grisly skill
|
They've taught me how to win a war 10,000 ways to kill
|
And all the vicious weapons to be used each time I fight
|
Now I've become a weapon of such fearsome might
|
|
Chorus: I am no soldier, I'm a man of war
|
I am no soldier, I'm a man of war
|
|
My code is my life and my duty is my soul
|
The filling of our contract is my only kind of goal
|
I go where they tell me and I fight the ones they say
|
And none of us would think to ever run away
|
|
Chorus
|
|
We fight and we march to the mercenaries' drum
|
And many wars are ended by the rumor that we've come
|
We take to the field and the enemy all flies
|
I've seen them run in terror from the look in my eyes
|
|
Chorus
|
|
We land on some planet and we fight until we fall
|
Or till the war is ended and we hear them sound recall
|
They say we are bloodless, that we're nothing but machines
|
But still they beg to hire us when they have the means
|
|
Chorus
|
|
The years count up in kills and the battles still go on
|
And none of us believe that we will see a peaceful dawn
|
And it's aeons of victory to minutes of defeat
|
But I'm waiting for the day that you will make us obsolete
|
I'm praying for the day when you will make us obsolete
|
