Soldier Bear

Soldier Bear

Towering monolith
Mighty militia beast
What have those eyes seen?
What do those eyes see?

Hills of the east
To the wars of the west
We march to the drum
That beats in your chest

Another cigarette
To fill your ursine lungs
The furry fusilier
Who never fired a gun

Marching on all fours
Munitions your back
Never falter
Always ready for attack

SOLDIER BEAR SOLDIER BEAR

Grizzly, gargantuan
Ever the gentleman
Throw a salute
And we'll throw you a smoke

Where honour and valour
Were stretched 'til they snapped
You gave us a banner
To gather our hope

Marching on all fours
Munitions your back
Never falter
Always ready for attack

And when you're caged and grey
And all your fights are won
Oh mighty soldier bear
March on into the sun
