Soldier On!

No reason left for living
Living all alone
And dying unforgiven
With unforgiven bones
Dead years, and the dread years
They were all throughout your life
The road was soon your mistress
And the stage became your wife
Marching off to war
Everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
No reason left for dying
Dying to be right
Days, living unforgiven
And unforgiven nights
Lean years and the mean years
They were all throughout your life
Two steps forward and two steps back
You're out of time
Marching off to war
Everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
Marching off to war
Everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of Hell
I know I've got to soldier on
