歌曲:Summer Soldier[00:00:08]
I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger[00:02:22]
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home[00:02:28]
I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours[00:02:32]
For the people that he's maimed and left alone[00:02:40]
The Lord God said love thy neighbour[00:02:45]
Though in human life he trades, he's still a man [00:02:49]
I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing[00:02:54]
To fight for ideals aged and past their time[00:03:04]
I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle[00:03:10]
Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds[00:03:17]
The Lord God said love thy neighbour[00:03:22]
Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend [00:03:26]
Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side[00:03:56]
With a knife and a gun in each hand[00:04:01]
Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same[00:04:05]
It's time to stop and decide[00:04:13]
Is it love or hate?[00:04:18]
Is it peace or war?[00:04:22]
It's for sure there's no inbetween[00:04:26]
Politicians point views[00:04:32]
But they're pointing for you[00:04:35]
The solution has to be seen [00:04:38]
I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow[00:06:28]
His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud[00:06:41]
I fire in hate, he cried aloud[00:06:56]
To protect myself from defeat[00:07:04]
My shield's my cause, my cause is war[00:07:12]
And from war I'll make no retreat [00:07:18]
I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow[00:07:49]
His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud[00:08:01]
I drwa thee not, he cried aloud[00:08:16]
Though your deeds like spears strike my soul[00:08:25]
My shield's my love, my cause is peace[00:08:32]
Faith be sure I shall not retreat [00:08:39]
