No reason left for living
Living all alone
And dying unforgiven
With unforgiven bones
Dead years, and the dread years
They were all throughout your life
The road was soon your mistress
And the stage became your wife

Marching off to war
Everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray

Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of hell
I know I've got to soldier on

No reason left for dying
Dying to be right
Days, living unforgiven
And unforgiven nights
Lean years and the mean years
They were all throughout your life
Two steps forward and two steps back
You're out of time

Marching off to war
Everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray

Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of hell
I know I've got to soldier on

Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of hell
I know I've got to soldier on

Marching off to war
Everyone can see
They're paralyzed with fear
They get down on their knees and pray

Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of hell
I know I've got to soldier on

Of all the battles won and lost
The lives and treasures that it cost
I know I've got to soldier on
Watching mankind destroy itself
Walk straight into the mouth of hell
I know I've got to soldier on

Up for a run in the mornin' air
Up for a run in the mornin' air
I've got no job, but I got long hair
I've got no job, but I got long hair
I've got no woman waiting back at home
I've got no woman waiting back at home
I've got all I need, I just solider on
I've got all I need, I just solider on
