《Too Long A Soldier》歌词

[00:00:28] We were the children of '45

[00:00:33] Loaded like pistols and taught how to die

[00:00:37] We looked the enemy straight in the eye(And never surrender)

[00:00:45] Through trenches dug in the back of my mind

[00:00:49] I go over the top time after time

[00:00:54] Me and the ones we left behind faces(I'll always remember)

[00:01:01] Now there's no fight left within me but the writing of this wrong

[00:01:10] As nations we're divided but as people we are one

[00:01:18] Like brothers in blood it seems that we've been too long a soldier

[00:01:34] In the city of monuments among the flags of all governments

[00:01:43] The order of battle is written in the shadows of a hard black line

[00:01:51] Where people cry for a nations scars

[00:01:55] And heroes sleep beneath a blanket of stars

[00:02:00] Too young to die but never too old to play the general's game

[00:02:07] Now there's no life left within them but the memory lingers on

[00:02:16] As nations we're divided but as people we are one

[00:02:24] For brothers in blood we sing that we've been too long a soldier

[00:02:35] Eternal flames blow in the wind I've been too long a soldier

[00:02:43] Captain of the guard I'm coming in too long too long a soldier

[00:02:51] I've seen so much worth dying for so little worth killing over hey

[00:03:33] Eternal flames blow in the wind I've been too long a soldier

[00:03:41] Captain of the guard I'm coming in too long too long a soldier

[00:03:49] I've seen so much worth dying for so little worth killing over

[00:03:57] Soldiers gone before me I will surely fade away

[00:04:05] My eyes have seen the glory and the suffering and the pain

[00:04:10] I've been too long a soldier too long too long a soldier

[00:04:18] I've been too long a soldier

[00:04:27] (Too long a soldier)

[00:04:31] Eternal flames blow in the wind

[00:04:35] (Too long a soldier)

[00:04:38] My eyes have seen the glory of

[00:04:44] (Too long a soldier)

[00:04:46] Oh say can you see by the dawns early light ooh ooh
