Blues eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears   Armed to the teeth for a war of words   Reaching all the years   I advanced across a poppy field   I saw the gleam as you raised your shield   And love screamed down   With the sun behind its back      Our fathers were all soldiers,   Shall we be soldiers too   Fighting and falling like soldiers do      Nothing is clear in this tactical unclear war   I can't be bothered to find out   What we are fighting for   No one can win this war of the senses   I see no reason to drop my defences   So stand fast my emotions,   Rally round my shaking heart      Our fathers were all soldiers,   Shall we be soldiers too   Fighting and falling like soldiers do      Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes fighting the tears   Armed to the teeth for a war of words   Reaching all the years   I advanced across a poppy field   I saw the gleam as you raised your shield   And love screamed down   With the sun behind its back   I knew once again i was under attack   So stand fast my emotions,   Rally round my shaking heart      Our fathers were all soldiers,   Shall we be soldiers too   Fighting and falling like soldiers   Fighting and falling like soldiers   Fighting and falling like soldiers do
