[Smith / Harris / Dickinson]



 It's the same in every country

 When you say you're leaving

 Left behind the loved ones

 Waiting silent in the hall

 Where you're going lies adventure

 others only dream of

 Red and green light this is real

 and so you go to war



 For the passion, for the glory

 For the memories, for the money

 You're a soldier, for your country

 What's the difference, all the same



 Far away from the land of our birth

 We fly a flag in some foreign earth

 We sailed away like our fathers before

 These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war



 Here is no one that will save you

 Going down in flames

 No surrender certain death

 You look it in the eye

 On the shores of tyranny you



 Crashed the human wave

 Paying for my freedom with your

 Lonely unmarked graves



 For the passion, for the glory

 For the memories, for the money

 You're a soldier, for your country

 What's the difference, all the same



 Far away from the land of our birth

 We fly a flag in some foreign earth

 We sailed away like our fathers before

 These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war
