When I was young I took an oath To fight for love and faith and hope But how was I to have known I would have to face myself, my cover blown
Yeah I was shaken by what I saw Something in you breaks when you watch your comrades fall Even now I suppose the battle's not yet over And I'm just another soldier On the field of love
Marching blind through the dark Somehow it fell on me to lead the charge I was wounded, I bear the scar And wear it like a badge of courage on my heart
So sound the bugle and beat the drums The sky has turned blood-red at the setting of the sun Even now, heaven knows, the battle's not yet over And I'm just another soldier On the field of love
Should I go down on this hallowed ground Surely more of us are willing to try for love Willing to die
So sound the bugle and beat the drums The night is coming on at the sinking of the sun
Even now I suppose the battle's never over As long as there's a soldier On the field of love
