Listen
Where are we to go from here in time?
Do you see a 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 of men
If you don't know what has gone before
You'll just make the same mistake
Again and again and again
Soldier, soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life isn't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory
If you can't see
What bloody fools we were
Then you are 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 and 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 and again and 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
You know in real life the only way
Is see why all those brave men
Died in vain
If all the slaughter
Doesn't make you sad
You'll just make the same mistake
Again and again and 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
Soldier, soldier
What do you want?
What do you want?
You wanna be a soldier?
Soldier
You wanna be a soldier?
Soldier, soldier
Soldier
You'll just make the same mistake
Again
