I advanced across a poppy field
Shall we be soldiers too?
I knew once again I was under attack
Shall we be soldiers too?
What we are fighting for
Fighting the tears
Our fathers were all soldiers
And love screamed down
No one can win this war of the senses
Rally 'round my shaking heart
Reachin' all the years
Armed to the teeth for a war of words
Blue eyes fighting the gray eyes
Fighting and falling like soldiers
Our fathers were all soldiers
I advanced across a poppy field
I can't be bothered to find out
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
Fighting and falling like soldiers
So stand fast my emotions
With the sun behind its back
I see no reason to drop my defenses
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
Rally 'round my shaking heart
Shall we be soldiers too?
Reachin' all the years
Armed to the teeth for a war of words
So stand fast my emotions
With the sun behind its back
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
Nothing is clear in this tactical
Unclear war
Our fathers were all soldiers
And love screamed down
