These Colours [bad word] 
(Smith, Harris, [bad word]  

It's the same in every country 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 
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 [bad word] from cold bloody war 
There is no one that will save you, going down in flames 
No surrender certain death you look it in the eye 
On the shores of tyranny you crashed a human wave 
Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves 
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 [bad word] from cold bloody war

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 [bad word] from cold bloody war 

Far away from the land of our birth 
We fly a flag in some foreign earth 
We sailed away like our fathers before
