The Story of a Soldier - La Storia Di Un Soldato Lyrics

The Story of a Soldier - Ennio Morricone (埃尼奥•莫里康内)

Bugles are calling from prairie to shore

Sign up and fall in and march off to war;

Drums beating loudly

Hearts beating proudly March

Blue and gray and smile as you go

Smoke hides the valleys and fire paints the plains

Loud roar the cannons till ruin remains;

Blue grass and cotton burnt and forgotten

All hope seems gone so

Soldier march on to die

Count all the crosses and count all the tears

These are the losses and sad souvenirs;

This devastation once was a nation

So fall the dice how high is the price

There in the distance a flag I can see

Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be;

How ends the story whose is the glory

Ask if we dare our comrades out there who sleep

Count all the crosses and count all the tears

These are the losses and sad souvenirs;

This devastation once was a nation

So fall the dice

How high is the price we pay
