|
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 .... ? |
