Em                               D
Soldier of the line, how does it feel?
                                     Em
You're far away from home, polishing steel
                                          D
The sun moves in between the mountain and sky
                                             Em   D  Em  D  Em  D  Em
As dawn puts out its fingers, splitting them wide


[Verse 2]
Em                               D
Soldier of the line, what do you know?
                                 Em
About the other side, they never show
                                          D
They must be well disguised, biding their time
                                            Em
Their armour well prepared, so nothing will shine


[Verse 3]
Em                                  D
Solider of the line, would you kill me?
                                            Em
There's something in your eyes stopping you see
                                       D
They're cloudy and you turn your head away
                                             Em
What's that rolling down your face? Are you okay?

[Pre-Chorus]
Em   Bm         C               D    G  D
Hold back those tears from your eyes
Em    Bm         C          D
Don't show those feelings inside


[Chorus]
Em                     Bm  A     Em
You're in a murderous playground
Em              D     Em
War games on a castle wall
Em                     Bm  A     Em
You're in a murderous playground
Em                 D       Em  D  C  Bm
Crossed out if you dare to fall


[Instrumental]
Em  Bm  C  D   Em
D   Em


[Verse 4]
Em                            Bm
Soldier of the line, it isn't fair
       D                            Em
You're bleeding deep inside, nobody cares
Em                                              Bm
Your flag and lance stand proud, splintered and red
   D                                         Em  D  Em
No movement in the fields, the crows will be fed


[Verse 5]
Em                                      Bm
Soldier of the line, you've come to the end
       D                            Em
You'll never get to see your mother again
Em                                    Bm
Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay
   Em                    C                Em  D  Em
An unremembered name, an unforgettable day


[Chorus]
Em                     Bm  A     Em
You're in a murderous playground
Em              D     Em
War games on a castle wall
Em                     Bm  A     Em
You're in a murderous playground
Em                 D       Em
Crossed out if you dare to fall


[Otro]
Em                     Bm  A     Em
You're in a murderous playground
Em              D     Em
War games on a castle wall
Em                     Bm  A     Em
You're in a murderous playground
Em                 D       Em  D  C  Bm   B  Em
Crossed out if you dare to fall
