Soldier Blue, bloodstained red Hey people, he's gonna bust your head A real bad dream, you know it's true Kiss his boots or you'll be through Out of the night comes soldier right Line you up in his gunsight His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded Hey children, start a running Soldier Blue, love is out of season Soldier Blue, fighting for no reason Soldier Blue, soldier fright He's gonna bust up everything in sight A real heavy dude in a killing mood Pack your bags or you'll be through He's guaranteed to shatter all your dreams His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded Hey children, start a running I have seen the sunset, the sea on fire Ships burn off the coast of Orion Dreams of peace wait on the horizon Clouds filled with blood rain on the water While night time's fingers clench the light shut Our sister rides the horse Apocalypse Now is the closing Love has no season | |
