Iron Maiden - These Colours Don't Run lyrics

[Smith / Harris / Dickinson] It's the same in every country When you say you're leaving Left behind the loved ones Waiting silent in the hall Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of Red and green light this is real and so you go to war For the pa**ion, for the glory For the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country What's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war There is no one that will save you Going down in flames No surrender certain d**h you Look it in the eye On the shores of tyranny you Lonely unmarked graves For the pa**ion, for the glory For the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country What's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war
