Lyrics:

Brave young soldiers marching row by row
Boys dressed proudly in their fathers' clothes
Starched, steamed, pressed and cleaned
Just fuel to feed the same machine
Release us...
Stones thrown, arrows flown, but something's changed
Fifteen minutes now at point blank range
Stop signs, border lines
We've family ties and barbed wire lies between us

So, I am the one you chose to save
Just like mercy does a thief
Roll this stone away
We've just time to pray we'll never have to
Follow in our fathers' footsteps
All we need to say
Is pray we'll never have to
Follow in our fathers' footsteps
All we need to say
Is pray we'll never have to
Follow in our fathers' footsteps

Brave young soldiers lying row by row
Boys dressed proudly in their fathers' clothes
Sheets, tags, plastic bags
Return the rest and find the next young genius

So, I am the one you chose to save
Just like mercy does a thief
Roll this stone away
We've just time to pray we'll never have to
Follow in our fathers' footsteps
All we need to say
Is pray we'll never have to
Follow in our fathers' footsteps
Pray we'll never have to
Follow in our fathers' footsteps
