Pick up your gun and take a careful aim
Pretend you’re still at home, it’s just a game
Far across the foreign land you’ll find
The enemy’s the same, he’s humankind
St. Christopher sits cold upon your chest
The medals shining proud upon your breast
A soldier from the very day you’re born
And now the family have been informed
You dreamt of being a hero all your life
Decorated and a trophy wife
The friends you knew would all look up in awe
But none of them have seen the things you saw
St. Christopher sits cold upon your chest
The medals shining proud upon your breast
A soldier from the very day you’re born
And now the family have been informed
Fight and kill, put a flag upon the hill
Kill with bombs and love, you know the drill
The innocent must pay the price as well
Between the space of heaven and bloody hell
St. Christopher sits cold upon your chest
The medals shining proud upon your breast
A soldier from the very day you’re born
And now the family have been informed
You fought your war, you’re never coming home
You left this earth, your spirit free to roam
But spare a thought for those you left unborn
Their families will never be informed
And now the family have been informed
