The lonely soldier

Описание: "The Lonely Soldier" -lyrics


The year of our Lord, seventy-one,
Searchin’ for peace, yeah, the march has begun
Tryin’ to end all the blood and the war,
They say peace is waitin’ behind that door
Boots in the dust, heads held high,
Every step closer, somebody’s gonna die

Gallant men standin’ in a ragged line,
Watchin’ the hours, countin’ down time
Battlefield echoes with thunder and flame,
Enemy’s comin’—they don’t know shame
World domination in the enemy’s eyes,
They want it all, won’t compromise

One by one, two by two,
Every man knows what he’s gotta do
Heart full of fear but his soul stands strong,
Holdin’ the line when the night feels long
God bless, God bless the lonely soldier
Standin’ tall as the world gets colder

Back home a woman’s dressed in black,
Prayin’ for a man who ain’t comin’ back
She holds his name like a sacred belief,
Left behind in a house full of grief
He’ll give his life for what he believes,
With a cross on his chest and dirt on his knees

He cries like a child in the dead of night,
Starin’ at dawn, knowin’ tomorrow’s the fight
Talkin’ to God under heaven’s light,
“Lord, if I fall, please make it right…”

One by one, two by two,
Every man knows what he’s gotta do
Heart full of fire, hands clenched tight,
Marchin’ forward into the fight
God bless, God bless the lonely soldier
Carry him home on angels’ shoulders

Yeah, the drums roll low, the night grows cold,
History’s written in blood and gold
When the smoke clears and the battle’s over,
God bless…
God bless the lonely soldier
