Songtexte

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

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 can't be bothered to find out

What were fighting for

No one can win this war of the senses

I see no reason to drop my defenses

So stand fat 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 worlds

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 his 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 do
