We were the children of `45 Loaded like pistols and taught how to die We looked the enemy straight in the eye (And never surrender) Through trenches dug in the back of my mind I go over the top time after time Me and the ones we left behind (Faces I'll always remember) Now there's no fight left within me, but the writing of this wrong As nations we're divided, but as people we are one Like brothers in blood it seems that we've been -Too Long A Soldier In the city of monuments, among the flags of all governments The order of battle is written in the shadows of a hard black line Where people cry for a nations scars And heros sleep beneath a blanket of stars Too young to die, but never too old to play the general's game Now there's no life left within them, but the memory lingers on As nations we're divided, but as people we are one For brothers in blood we sing that we've been -Too Long A Soldier Eternal flames blow in the wind, I've been Too Long A Soldier Captain of the guard I'm coming in, Too Long, Too Long A Soldier I've seen so much worth dying for, so little worth killing over Hey, Hey Eternal flames blow in the wind, I've been Too Long A Soldier Captain of the guard I'm coming in, Too Long, Too Long A Soldier I've seen so much worth dying for, so little worth killing over Soldiers gone before me, I will surely fade away My eyes have seen the glory, and the suffering and the pain I've been Too Long A Soldier, Too Long, Too Long A Soldier I've been Too Long A Soldier Too Long A Soldier) Eternal flames blow in the wind Too Long A Soldier) My eyes have seen the glory of Too Long A Soldier) Oh say can you see by the dawns early light Oooh, Ooh, Ooh Oooh, Ooh, Ooh
