Soldiers are killed one by one
Friends and foes fall side by side
Bodies are left, under the sun

Death comes from the call of war
The land is ravaged and the people torn
The children weep and the mothers morn
Blood and bone from war was born

Soldiers are killed one by one
Friends and foes fall side by side
Bodies are left, under the sun

Men are lost when the war's been won
Father, brother, husband, and son
Only death remains, alls said and done
For war leaves only wounds by gun

Soldiers are killed one by one
Friends and foes fall side by side
Bodies are left, under the sun

All are the same when the blood runs dry
All women weep and all men cry
The families wonder why oh why
As relatives lay under the sky

For
Soldiers are killed one by one
Friends and foes fall side by side
Bodies are left, under the sun
