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 are mad
If you dont know
what has gone before,
Youll just make the same mistake again & again & again.
Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
You have
to know the story,
Older, colder, life isnt fair,
Got to grab the sword of glory,
If you cant see what bloody fools we
were,
Then you were also born a bloody fool,
Listen to the hundred million dead,
They didnt know it, but they died for
you,
All you know is that youre young & tough,
Dont you think those millions thought the same,
If you dont know where it all
went wrong,
Youll just make the same mistake again & again & again.
Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
You have to know the
story,
Older or colder, life aint fair,
Got to grab the sword of glory,
Read the books, learn to save your life,
How can
you find the knowledge if you dont,
All the brave men died before their time,
Youll either be a hero, or you wont,
Dont you
realize the only way,
Is see why all those brave men died in vain,
If all that slaughter doesnt make you sad,
Youll just make the
same mistake again & again & again.
Soldier, soldier, see where we were,
You have to know the story,
Older or colder, life
aint fair,
Got to grab the sword of glory.
