Level 42 - Over There lyrics

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 k**ing and slaying goes on as before Will it ever end Oh ... will it ever end Will it ever end ...?
