Another battle's over   It's a million soldiers   They'll never rise again   We lost a million friends      You can't understand   If you weren't there   You felt different then   Marching off to war      Show no quarter   Delight in slaughter   Up for your last long ride   And maybe God's on the other side      Don't try to understand   If you weren't there   You felt different then   Marching off to war      Don't need no vindication   Fight for the nation   You know you're going to hell   But you wear it well      You'll never understand   If you weren't there   You felt different then   Marching off to war
