Magnum (band) - Soldier Of The Line lyrics

Soldier of the line, how does it feel? You're far away from home, polishing steel The sun moves in between the mountain and sky As dawn puts out its fingers, splitting them wide Soldier of the line, what do you know? About the other side, they never show They must be well disguised, biding their time Their armour well prepared, so nothing will shine Solider of the line, would you k** me? There's something in your eyes stopping you see They're cloudy and you turn your head away What's that rolling down your face? Are you okay? Hold back those tears from your eyes Don't show those feelings inside You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall Soldier of the line, it isn't fair You're bleeding deep inside, nobody cares Your flag and lance stand proud, splintered and red No movement in the fields, the crows will be fed Soldier of the line, you've come to the end You'll never get to see your mother again Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay An unremembered name, an unforgettable day You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall
