A soldier of fortune came home from war
   And wondered what he was fighting for
   This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried
   Oh oh, he was so broke up inside
  
   When will it end
   When will it end
   The bell tolls
   For those about to die
  
   The battle's over the war is won
   But this soldier of fortune he will carry on
   He will carry on when all hope is gone
   He will carry on
  
   He's trained to kill and kill he will
   As we march along
   Singing just another soldier song
   Just another soldier song
  
   I am a soldier of fortune
   Destined to keep on marching
   I can hear the pipers calling
