Melancholy Soldiers |
Who fed you to the lions |
When hanging from a tree |
It’s a case of melancholy |
There’s no tourists at the sea |
Twelve saw decaying monuments |
While marching on attack |
Eleven watched a single |
Thus continued on the march |
Oh, oh |
Pin point toward horizon |
Convalescent to the last |
A moment lost of imagery |
The last word to the cast |
Won’t you listen to the danger |
I can’t listen any more |
Oh, oh |
This… oh, oh oh! |
This… oh, oh oh! |
This… to march along |
This… on undwelt seed |
This… is a panorama |
This… is a soldier’s creed |
From this came a stranger |
All the marching seemed to halt |
From this came a moment |
Then the march led to assault |
The dwellers took position |
While commanding genocide |
The enemy were helpless |
And there’s lots more besides |
Oh, oh |
This… to march along |
This… on undwelt seed |
This… is a panorama |
This… is a soldier’s creed |
This… oh, oh oh |
This… oh, oh oh |
