These Colours Don't Run Lyrics - A Matter Of Life And Death - Iron Maiden

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 it 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
