Lyrics
[Instrumental intro]
[Epic Guitar Music Hook]
[Verse 1]
Those were days we swore together
Hearts of stone and hands like leather
Come the fighting, no one left behind
You were not forgotten, brother of mine
[Guitar Breakdown]
[verse 2]
We fought together arm-in-arm
Trying to keep each other safe from harm
War made us hard and in war we grew colder
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
[Music Continue]
[Epic Guitar Music Hook]
[ADD A QUIET MOMENT BEFORE THE DROP]
[verse 3]
Those are the days I recall
We stood tall through it all
The flash at night and the cry of death
I watched you breathe your final breath
[verse 4]
Fighting together side-by-side
I held you close as you died
Carrying you out upon my shoulder
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
[Music Continue]
[Epic Guitar Music Hook]
[ADD A QUIET MOMENT BEFORE THE DROP]
[verse 5]
They all said, “He served his country well,
but in the end this soldier fell.”
We fought as one, but you died alone
In the end, we brought you home
[verse 6]
The storm is swift, but the Lord is strong
We fought the cause, whether it right or wrong
You died so young and I grew older
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
[Music Continue]
[Epic Guitar Music Hook]
[ADD A QUIET MOMENT BEFORE THE DROP]
[Outro]
Curse those days when we swore together
Hearts like stone through stormy weather
Come the darkness, we couldn’t be much bolder
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
(We were soldiers)
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
(We were soldiers)
We were soldiers
We were soldiers
(We were soldiers)
We were soldiers
