Sword of Glory lyrics

Listen!

Where are we to go from here in time?

Do you see the future? Do you know?

What can you expect from years to come?

And what can you do now to make it so?

All of history is there for you

All the deeds done in the world of men

If you don't know what has gone before

You'll just make the same mistake again and again and again

Soldier, soldier, see where we were

You have to know the story

Older or colder, life isn't fair

Got to grab the sword of glory

If you can't see what bloody fools we were

Then you are also born a bloody fool

Listen to the hundred million dead

They didn't know it, but they died for you

All you know is that you're young and tough

Don't you think those millions thought the same?

If you don't know where it all went wrong

You'll just make the same mistake again and again and again

Soldier, soldier, see where we were

You have to know the story

Older or colder, life ain't fair

Got to grab the sword of glory

Read the books, learn to save your life

How can you find the knowledge if you don't?

All the brave men died before their time

You'll either be a hero or you won't

You know in real life the only way

Is see why all those brave men died in vain

If all that slaughter doesn't make you sad

You'll just make the same mistake again and again and again

Soldier, soldier, see where we were

You have to know the story

Older or colder, life ain't fair

Got to grab the sword of glory

What do you want? What do you want?

You wanna be a soldier?

Ah, you wanna be a soldier?

You want to risk your life, so better make it right

You'll just make the same mistake

Again
