give me a gun and call me a soldier
the enemy circles our people
here is your gun you’re one of us soldier
you’ll do now whatever is needed
the cause it is just the cause it is right
we fight to deliver a nation
on duty by day on duty by night
the faraway hills your first station
I am a soldier I welcome the dusk
as the enemy welcomes the dawn
I long for an end but orders are first
and the soul of a rebel’s long gone
it bolted away in these lonely hills
when our cause became blurred in the trees
the order was shoot I shot and I killed
I am soldier I say to appease
