Out of the skytrain onto the beach
Into the gunfire dividing us each
Destroying all batterys right in our way
No rest no retreat, this is our doomsday
Walking around in the black of the night
not knowing where to be or to go
Houses burning and people crying, every bush a prospective enemy
We Soldiers are citizens of death´s grey land, running straight into our destiny
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to stay and to wait.
Houses burning and people crying, every bush a prospective enemy
We Soldiers are citizens of death´s grey land, running straight into our destiny
Walking around in the black of the night
not knowing where to be or to go
No leaders, no followers
No faith, no trust
No end in sight
But fratricide and disgust
Grief and sorrow
Mental disarray
Dark memories in my dreams
Will I see the next day?
Why am I putting up with the freezing cold, the constant rain and the loss of so many comrades?
Outthinking, outshooting, outfighting the enemy
Does anybody even care?
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
Houses burning and people crying, every bush a prospective enemy
We Soldiers are citizens of death´s grey land, running straight into our destiny
