Golden Soldiers

(album: Shock Of Daylight - 1984)

Sun on my face
And I can feel it glow
Some would draw the curtains
Sometimes I'd like to smash those windows open
Sun on my face
And I can feel it glow

I could be so golden
Shine in the dead of night for you
I could be a criminal
And lead a life of crime for you
I could be so golden
Shine in the dead of night for you
I could be a soldier
And I could go to war for you

I won't give up a good fight
With talk of passive action
And when the first comes down
I'd provide the opposite reaction
Won't give up a good fight
With talk of passive action

I could be so golden
Shine in the dead of night for you
I could be a criminal
And lead a life of crime for you
I could be so golden
Shine in the dead of night
I could be a soldier
And I could go to war for you

Pour me night and day
In equal quantity
And I will drink to those
Who sacrifice that part for me

But I could be so golden
Shine in the dead of night for you
I could be a criminal
And lead a life of crime for you
I could be so golden
Shine in the dead of night for you
I could be a soldier
And I could go to war for you
