Like Soldiers Do — Bragg Billy

Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears

Armed to the teeth for a war of words

Reaching all the years

I advanced across a poppy field

I saw the gleam as you raised your shield

And love screamed down

With the sun behind its back

Our fathers were all soldiers,

Shall we be soldiers too

Fighting and falling like soldiers do

Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war

I cant be bothered to find out

What we are fighting for

No one can win this war of the senses

I see no reason to drop my defences

So stand fast my emotions,

Rally round my shaking heart

Our fathers were all soldiers,

Shall we be soldiers too

Fighting and falling like soldiers do

Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears

Armed to the teeth for a war of words

Reaching all the years

I advanced across a poppy field

I saw the gleam as you raised your shield

And love screamed down

With the sun behind its back

I knew once again I was under attack

So stand fast my emotions,

Rally round my shaking heart

Our fathers were all soldiers,

Shall we be soldiers too

Fighting and falling like soldiers

Fighting and falling like soldiers

Fighting and falling like soldiers do
