(Lynott)

------------------



A soldier of fortune came home from war

And wondered what he was fighting for

This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried

Oh oh, he was so broke up inside



When will it end

When will it end

The bell tolls

For those about to die



The battle's over the war is won

But this soldier of fortune he will carry on

He will carry on when all hope is gone

He will carry on



He's trained to kill and kill he will

As we march along

Singing just another soldier song

Just another soldier song



I am a soldier of fortune

Destined to keep on marching

I can hear the pipers calling
