Soldier of Fortune lyrics

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
