These Colours Don't Run lyrics

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 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

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

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

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
