Like Soldiers Do

Blue eyes fighting the gray eyes Fighting the tears Armed to the teeth for a war of words Reachin' 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 we are fighting for No one can win this war of the senses I see no reason to drop my defenses 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 do Blue eyes fighting the gray eyes Fighting the tears Armed to the teeth for a war of words Reachin' 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 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 Fighting and falling like soldiers do
