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
Soldier of the line would you kill 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 OK?
Hold back those tears from your eye 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 field, 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
