SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
In a barren land, from a distant gaze
Where nightmares reign, there lurks in a place
Underneath a threatening sky
A man with a mission, his only belief
In the gun he holds by his side...
His soul for the thrill
His heart for a price
Betraying the betrayers
Hero’s charm – the myth suffice
In a land where the blood red sun sinks deep
Into skulls of the dead as the lie asleep
Little soldier keeps count, as he stealthily creeps
Alone in the darkness
Afraid in the dreams he sleeps...
His soul for the thrill
His heart for a price
Betraying the betrayers
Hero’s charm – the myth suffice
Soldier of fortune what price your salute?
Soldier of fortune what way do you look?
When these lands are soiled and the dead lay cold
Soldier of misfortune
Hero’s charm – a story of old
Soldier of fortune re-tracing your steps
A long winding footpath that weaves though your head
Returned now from streets paved with blood, sweat and bone
With no banner to carry
No battle cry to head
Alien in your homeland
No cause left to plead...
Soldier of fortune, for you, who will weep?...
Soldier of misfortune, lay blood red the sons of the fallen ones...
