Two Soldiers Lyrics

With heads held high words are said
A wow is made before we go
If fate be cruel and I'm laid to rest
You'll do your best that much I know

Empty battlefields lie still
Grimly staring we're set to do what no one can alone
In these houses made of stone

Memories of the lives unknown
Kings and queens upon their thrones
Centuries have shown them
War will never change and this is who we are

There's so much more
None can tell the hearts of men when nations call
And those who came before gave their trust
We're left to rust on foreign shores

Brother look me in the eye
We will survive and stand to do what no one can alone
In these houses made of stone

Memories of the lives unknown
Kings and queens upon their thrones
Centuries have shown them
War will never change and this is who we are

"It was just a blue-eyed Northern boy
His voice was low with pain
I'll do your bidding, comrade mine
If I ride back again
But if you ride back, and I am dead
You'll do as much for me
My mother, you know, must hear the news
So write to her tenderly."

Sailed upon the evening tide
Grimly staring we won't forget the ones we left behind
In these houses made of stone

Memories of the lives unknown
Kings and queens upon their thrones
Centuries have shown them
All we have are dreams and a dream can take you far
A dream can take you far
