Soldier Of The Line Lyrics - Singles - Magnum

Soldier of the line how does it feel 

You're far away from home polishing steel 

The sun moves in between the mountain and sky 

As dawn puts out its fingers splitting them wide 

Soldier of the line what do you know 

About the other side, they never show 

They must be well disguised biding their time 

Their armour well prepared so nothing will shine 

Soldier of the line would you kill me 

There's something in your eyes stopping you see 

They're cloudy and you turn your head away 

What's that rolling down your face, are you OK? 

Hold back those tears from your eye 

Don't show those feelings inside 

You're in a murderous playground 

War games on a castle wall 

You're in a murderous playground 

Crossed out if you dare to fall 

Soldier of the line it isn't fair 

You're bleeding deep inside nobody cares 

Your flag and lance stand proud splintered and red 

No movement in the field, the crows will be fed 

Soldier of the line you've come to the end 

You'll never get to see your mother again 

Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay 

An unremembered name an unforgettable day
