Текст песни Ghost of a Soldier - The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats

When I was 18 years, they gave me a gun
Went straight to the docks, there was work to be done
So sailed to a country I didn't even know
We landed in June, where summer wind blows

It was a dusty Sunday morning, when I woke up
Y'had smoke everywhere, I took a bullet from the cup
Th'enemy's battalion was out for attack
A gun in my hand, but a bullet in my back

Well, I died in a war, which was not mine
Later with my drum, mate, I stood in line

Now, I am wandering around this wasted land
The ghost of a soldier, my soul forever damned
Whoa-oh-oh

There was nothing left but anger in my soul
Every night I pull my body out of that goddamn hole
I never know why, why we were there
I gave my youth, but no one seemed to fucking care

Now I see the ravens flapping both their wings
Picking pieces out of fallen queens and kings
My blood-soaked hopes, they're all in vain
Not in heaven, not in hell, that's my bane

Well, I died in a war, which was not mine
Later with my drum, mate, I stood in line

Now, I am wandering around this wasted land
The ghost of a soldier, my soul forever damned
Whoa, whoa

Now, I am wandering around this wasted land
The ghost of a soldier, my soul forever damned
Now, I am wandering around this wasted land
The ghost of a soldier, my soul forever damned
Whoa-oh-oh
