Lonely Soldier (Alt)

In the stillness of the midnight, beneath a silver moon, A lonely soldier wanders, to a lonesome tune. The echoes of the battle, are fading far away, But the silence of the night, is here to stay. Lonely soldier, with stars in your eyes, Marching through the darkness, beneath the endless skies. With memories of comrades, who’ve gone so far from here, Lonely soldier, don’t you shed a tear. The letters from a distant home, crumpled in my hand, Speak of love and laughter, from a far-off land. But the faces of the fallen, haunt my every dream, In this world of shadows, nothing's as it seems. Lonely soldier, with stars in your eyes, Marching through the darkness, beneath the endless skies. With memories of comrades, who’ve gone so far from here, Lonely soldier, don’t you shed a tear. The firelight is flickering, in the cold night air, I whisper prayers to heaven, hoping someone’s there. For in this endless journey, through valleys dark and wide, I carry all their spirits, they're marching by my side. Lonely soldier, with stars in your eyes, Marching through the darkness, beneath the endless skies. With memories of comrades, who’ve gone so far from here, Lonely soldier, don’t you shed a tear. When the dawn is breaking, and a new day starts, I’ll keep their stories with me, deep within my heart. For though the road is lonely, and the night is long, This lonely soldier, will carry on strong.
