It’s pretty apparent that “Soldier” concerns the inner thoughts of a medieval swordsman on the anxious eve of fearful combat. He recounts his memories of love and intimacy in a military fortress over supper. So strong are these blessing of home within him that he begins to doubt the cause and only t...
Soldier Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here we are at the Fortress of Long Wings
My fellows bristling with anticipation
At slurp among their supperbowls
A map of steam in the rafters overhead
Shovelling it in
I don't taste a thing
Only a memory of
Kisses spilled upon my chin
[Chorus]
I am tired
I am afraid
My heart is full of dread
I am tired
And I am afraid
My heart is full of dread
[Verse 2]
Even now on the evening of battle
I'm clammy with doubt of love
I'm really scared of going
How I yearn to hold you once again
In the morning we
March across the sea
To the sunken monastery
To face our faceless enemy
[Chorus]
I am tired
I am afraid
My heart is full of dread
I am tired
I am afraid
My heart is full of dread
[Verse 3]
The rolling fields grow dark as the grave
And I am running for my life
Avowed to never draw another blade
I'll be back home just as soon as I can
Let's betroth without delay
Pack the horse and ride away
Find some better place where
We might raise a family
[Chorus]
My heart is full of hope
I am tired
And I am afraid
My heart is full of hope
