Brothers in Arms Lyrics

You were once told in basic training

Rely on those beside you

Could not understand how those words

Were there to guide you

You land on the beach and you're in Hell

The enemy sounding the warning bell

Thunder crash, your friends are dead

Bullets are flying right past your head

Brothers in arms

Brothers in arms

Brothers in arms

Are forged in battle

Rifles cocked, drills are tight

At your side day and night

In the trenches watch your back

You check left and right ready for attack

Bear in mind where your brothers stand

Mark your target for the upper hand

And through the scope you see it all

Watch them bleed and then watch them fall

Brothers in arms

Brothers in arms

Brothers in arms

Are forged in battle

Over the top, surrounded by pain

In no man's land is it all in vain

Fighting to win or just to survive

Holding a shot for the whites of their eyes

Blood on the floor, blood on their mind

Soldiers are falling down on either side

Vehicles of war, machine gun death

Cut them all down 'til there's no one left

Brothers in arms

Brothers in arms

Brothers in arms

Are forged in battle
