It's the same in every country   When you say you're leaving   Left behind the loved ones   Waiting silent in the hall      Where you're going, lies adventure   Others only dream of   Red and green light, this is real   And so you go to war      For the passion, for the glory   For the memories, for the money   You're a soldier for your country   What's the difference? All the same      Far away from the land of our birth   We fly a flag in some foreign earth   We sailed away like our fathers before   These colours don't run from cold, bloody war      There is no one that will save you   Going down in flames   No surrender, certain death   You look it in the eye      On the shores of tyranny   You crashed a human wave   Paying for my freedom   With your lonely unmarked graves      For the passion, for the glory   For the memories, for the money   You're a soldier for your country   What's the difference? All the same      Far away from the land of our birth   We fly a flag in some foreign earth   We sailed away like our fathers before   These colours don't run from cold, bloody war      Far away from the land of our birth   We fly a flag in some foreign earth   We sailed away like our fathers before   These colours don't run from cold, bloody war      Far away from the land of our birth   We fly a flag in some foreign earth   We sailed away like our fathers before   These colours don't run from cold, bloody war   These colours don't run from cold, bloody war
