Level 42 - Over There Lyrics
Im a soldier of fortuneIve come to save the dayTheres a country thats needs meAnd an enemy to slayAll my friends are in uniformGod is on our sideBut Im leaving my baby back homeAs we head for the oceanOur spirits are highTo battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die!Looking back at the shorelineRinging in my earsAre the words of my baby back homeWhere are you going to so far awayYour dreams of glory will soon fade awayWe are so young, so much in loveYour country needs you but I need you moreSo far awayOver thereOut on the frontline the story has changedFor the glory of battle is the myth on printed pageAs my friends fall around meI wonder when I dieWill they carry my body back homeWhat are you searching for so far awayYour dreams of glory will soon fade awayWe are so young, so much in loveIm so afraid I wont see you againYour country needs you but I need you moreSo far awayOver thereSo far awayOver thereWhere are you going to so far awayYour dreams of glory will soon fade awaySo many lives wasted awaySo many die again and againSome people say that the knights are all goneSome people say that the dragons are deadBut the dragon lives onAs the spectre of warAnd the killing and slaying goes on as beforeWill it ever endOh ... will it ever endWill it ever end .... ?
