Lyrics for Soldier Of Fortune

A soldier of fortune came home from war And wondered what he was fighting for This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried Oh, he was so broke up inside When will it end, when will it end? The bells toll For those about to die The battle's over, the war is won But this soldier of fortune he will carry on He will carry on when all hope is gone He will carry on He's trained to kill and kill he will As we march along Singing just another soldier song Just another soldier song I am a soldier of fortune Destined to keep on marching I can hear the pipers calling I am a soldier of fortune Destined to keep on marching I can hear the pipers calling
