These Colours Don't Run

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 cold bloody war There 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 a 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 (x3) 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 cold bloody war These colours don't run from cold bloody war
