Soldiers Lyrics

Artist: ABBA
Album: The Visitors

Do I hear what I think I'm hearing
do i see the signs I think I see
or is this just fantasy
is it true that the beast is waking
stirring in his restless sleep tonight in the pale moonlight
in the grip of this cold December you and I have reason to remember

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
the songs that you and I don't sing
they blow their horns and march along
they drum their drums and look so strong
you'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
the songs that you and I won't sing
let's not look the other way
taking a chance
cause if the bugler starts to play
we too must dance

What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble
won't somebody tell me what I hear
in the distance but drawing near
is it only a storm approaching
all that thunder and the blinding light in the winter night
In the grip of this cold December
you and I have reason to remember

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
the songs that you and I don't sing
they blow their horns and march along
they drum their drums and look so strong
you'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
the songs that you and I won't sing
let's not look the other way
taking a chance
cause if the bugler starts to play
we too must dance
