Sword of Glory

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 don't know what has gone before
You'll just make the same mistake again
And again and again
Soldier, Soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life isn't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory
If you can't see what bloody fools we were
Then you are also born a bloody fool
Listen to the hundred million dead
They didn't know it but they died for you
All you know is that you're young and tough
Don't you think those millions are the same?
If you don't know where it all went wrong
You'll just make the same mistake again
And again and again
Soldier, Soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life ain't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory
Read the books, learn to save your life
How can you find the knowledge if you don't?
All the brave men died before their time
You'll either be a hero or you won't
You know, in real life the only way
Is see why all those brave men died in vain
If all that slaughter doesn't make you sad
You'll just make the same mistake again
And again and again
Soldier, Soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life ain't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory
What do you want, what do you want?(Soldier, soldier)
You wanna be a soldier?
You wanna be a soldier(Soldier)
You wanna be right, so right(Soldier, soldier)
You'll just make the same mistake again(Soldier)
