Liner Notes

Again I made the "mistake" of sitting down with a cup of tea, coincidentally right on #skirmish time. Decided to pick a prompt at random from the list and see what happens.

Writing lyrics/poems/whatever you'd call it, is new to me and therefore unusually I do have a kind of 'tune' in my head, but I'm not getting that done in the hour....but I may revisit it.

This is a bit of a gloomy subject and not something I'm very familiar with, but anyway, enough excuses....

Lyrics

V1
As they sit there quietly pondering
In their battered old uniforms
Their fears so strong they were conquering
Unimaginable things that they have faced

V2
In the Army they were once asked to take a stance
The odds of winning seemed far too great
But with their courage, they stood a chance
To vanquish the foes, defending their place

Chorus
They are members of the Soldiers Society
Scars are painful, not just those you can see
Guarding against other nations impropriety
A dictators order, a battle cry, decree

V3
They’ll remember things ‘til their dying day
Things they won’t ever want to say
The evil that made them do what they did
Things were asked, their conscience forbid

V4
The debt that no-one can never repay
But the price paid was just far too high
All they can do is to sit down and pray
Hoping they never have to say that final goodbye

‘Chant’
The torment the pain, the blood the sweat
Never forget, never forget
Soldiers Society can never forget
Full of regret, never forget
