Soldier Of The Line - Magnum

Soldier of the line, how does it feel?

You’re far away from home, polishing steel

The sun moves in between the mountain and sky

As dawn puts out its fingers, splitting them wide

Soldier of the line, what do you know?

About the other side, they never show

They must be well disguised, biding their time

Their armour well prepared, so nothing will shine

Solider of the line, would you kill me?

There’s something in your eyes stopping you see

They’re cloudy and you turn your head away

What’s that rolling down your face?

Are you okay?

Hold back those tears from your eyes

Don’t show those feelings inside

You’re in a murderous playground

War games on a castle wall

You’re in a murderous playground

Crossed out if you dare to fall

Soldier of the line, it isn’t fair

You’re bleeding deep inside, nobody cares

Your flag and lance stand proud, splintered and red

No movement in the fields, the crows will be fed

Soldier of the line, you’ve come to the end

You’ll never get to see your mother again

Some unfamiliar place you’re going to stay

An unremembered name, an unforgettable day

You’re in a murderous playground

War games on a castle wall

You’re in a murderous playground

Crossed out if you dare to fall

You’re in a murderous playground

War games on a castle wall

You’re in a murderous playground

Crossed out if you dare to fall
