The colour of the evening

With a sunset that bleeds

The fallen on the stony ground

Like so many seeds

We're taking the country

From border to shore

People used to tell me

All's fair in love and war



For we are soldiers

King for a day

Mountains to molehills

Peasants for pay

People would cry

If they'd seen what we've done

But we'll be war heroes

When we get home.



We came across the borderline

To another part of town

Her streets were deserted

As we tore the wire down

The women were screaming

As we came through the door

But like people used to tell me

All's fair in love and war



For we are soldiers...
