Just A Soilder Passing Through

I saw the battlefield, I engaged in the battle
I was a valiant warrior; I fought a many campaigns
Life gets weary for a solider, all alone on the battlefield
Sometimes you jus want to walk away, but the battle must go on
 
I've seen life and I've seen death
One is not complete without the other
What is war all about, why do we fight
Is it because of honor, or to gains ones independence
Whatever the cause war should not be the answer
But still yet we fight, because we can't talk
Or we must take by force
 
Ah but what do I know of these things
I'm just a solider passing through
My job is to shoot, and to kill
Let others worry about the reasons
Seasons come, then they go
But war has no seasons, no days or nights
Everyday is the same in war
 
As long as there is no peace
I will be here just passing through
My gun in hand, waiting till the next campaign
