These Colours Don't Run

1. It's the same in every country
   G                    D
   when you say you're leaving
   Left behind the loved ones
   waiting silent in the hall
   Where you're going lies adventure
   others only dream of
   Red and green light this is real
   and so you go to war

R: For the passion, for the glory
   for the memories, for the money
   You're a soldier, for your country
   what's the difference, all the same   
   Far away from the land of our birth
   We fly a flag in some foreign earth
   We sailed away like our fathers before
   These colours don't run, from cold bloody war

2. There is no one that will save you
   going down in flames
   No surrender certain death you
   look in the eye
   On the shores of tyranny you
   crashed a human wave
   Paying for my freedom with your
   lonely unmarked graves

R: For the passion, for the glory...
