Where are we to go from here in time,
|
Do you see the future, do you know,
|
What can you expect from years to come,
|
And what can you do now to make it so,
|
|
All of history is there for you,
|
All the deeds done in the world are mad
|
If you don't know what has gone before,
|
You'll just make the same mistake again & again & again.
|
|
Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
|
You have to know the story,
|
Older, colder, life isn't fair,
|
Got to grab the sword of glory,
|
|
If you can't see what bloody fools we were,
|
Then you were also born a bloody fool,
|
Listen to the hundred million dead,
|
They didn't know it, but they died for you,
|
|
All you know is that you're young & tough,
|
Don't you think those millions thought the same,
|
If you don't know where it all went wrong,
|
You'll just make the same mistake again & again & again.
|
|
Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
|
You have to know the story,
|
Older or colder, life ain't fair,
|
Got to grab the sword of glory,
|
|
Read the books, learn to save your life,
|
How can you find the knowledge if you don't,
|
All the brave men died before their time,
|
You'll either be a hero, or you won't,
|
|
Don't you realize the only way,
|
Is see why all those brave men died in vain,
|
If all that slaughter doesn't make you sad,
|
You'll just make the same mistake again & again & again.
|
|
Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
|
You have to know the story,
|
Older or colder, life ain't fair,
|
Got to grab the sword of glory.
