Soldiers

Do I hear what I think I'm hearing?
 Do I see the signs I think I see?
 Or is this just a fantasy?
 ♪
 Is it true that the beast is waking
 Stirring in his restless sleep tonight
 In the pale moonlight
 In the grip of this cold December
 You and I have reason to remember
 Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
 The songs that you and I don't sing
 They blow their horns and march along
 They drum their drums and look so strong
 You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
 Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
 The songs that you and I won't sing
 Let's not look the other way
 Taking a chance
 'Cause if the bugler starts to play
 We too must dance
 ♪
 What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble?
 Won't somebody tell me what I hear?
 In the distance but drawing near
 Is it only a storm approaching?
 All that thunder and the blinding light
 In the winter night
 In the grip of this cold December
 You and I have reason to remember
 Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
 The songs that you and I don't sing
 They blow their horns and march along
 They drum their drums and look so strong
 You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
 Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
 The songs that you and I won't sing
 Let's not look the other way
 Taking a chance
 'Cause if the bugler starts to play
