Comes and goes,
Like in fitz and dizzy spells
Like the weather
And it blows
Like it knows what's going wrong
Like it's clever

Has a name ooh but the name goes unspoken
Weather wanes oooh were all twisted and broken
So soldier on, soldier on
Soldier on, soldier on

Flailing to the whir of a snack machine
And muted screams of an old regime
And then oh something gets in
The nightshade gets in
We were all fast asleep
Were all so fast asleep

But you woke us
You woke us from the strangest dream
that an aubergine could ever know
Would ever know
Would ever

whistling

Lava flows over crooks and craggy cliffs to the ocean
And explodes in a steam heat fevered cyclical motion
Has a name but the name goes unspoken

It's in vain cause the language is broken
So cast your own, cast your own (Soldier on)
Cast your own (Soldier on)
Cast your own (Soldier on)
Soldier on, soldier on
