1ST VERSE:

 We were the cC♯mhildren of '45

 LC♯moaded like pistols and taught how to die

 We lBooked the enemy stAraight in the eye (And never surrC♯mendered)

 Through trC♯menches dug in the back of my mind

 I C♯mgo over the top time after time

BMe and the ones we lAeft behind (Faces I'll always remC♯member)

Chorus

 Now there's Eno fight left within me

 But the wDriting F♯mof this wC♯mrong

 As nC♯mations we're divided, but as pBeople we are oAne

 Like bArothers in blood, it sEeems that we've bBeen

 Too long a sC♯moldier

E B C♯m

2ND VERSE:

 In the cC♯mity of monuments

 Among the fC♯mlags of all governments

 The oBrder of battle is wAritten in the shadows of a C♯mhard black line

 Where pC♯meople cry for a nation's scars

 And hC♯meroes sleep beneath a blanket of stars

 TBoo young to die, but nAever too old to play the GC♯meneral's game

Chorus

 Now there's Eno life left within them

 But the mDemory lF♯mingers oC♯mn

 As nC♯mations we're divided, but as pBeople we are oAne

 For bArothers in blood we sEing that we've bBeen

 Too long a sC♯moldier
