I'm a soldier of fortune
|
I've come to save the day
|
there's a country that's needs me
|
and an enemy to slay
|
all my friends are in uniform
|
God is on our side
|
but I'm leaving my baby back home
|
|
as we head for the ocean
|
our spirits are high
|
"To battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die!"
|
looking back at the shoreline
|
ringing in my ears
|
are the words of my baby back home
|
|
where are you going to so far away
|
your dreams of glory will soon fade away
|
we are so young, so much in love
|
your country needs you but I need you more
|
so far away
|
over there
|
|
out on the frontline the story has changed
|
for the glory of battle is the myth on printed page
|
as my friends fall around me
|
I wonder when I die
|
will they carry my body back home
|
|
what are you searching for so far away
|
your dreams of glory will soon fade away
|
we are so young, so much in love
|
I'm so afraid I won't see you again
|
your country needs you but I need you more
|
so far away
|
over there
|
so far away
|
over there
|
|
where are you going to so far away
|
your dreams of glory will soon fade away
|
so many lives wasted away
|
so many die again and again
|
some people say that the knights are all gone
|
some people say that the dragons are dead
|
but the dragon lives on
|
as the spectre of war
|
and the killing and slaying goes on as before
|
will it ever end
|
oh ... will it ever end
|
will it ever end .... ?
