Power And The Glory Lyrics
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to kill
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will
I've got no emotions I'm living with thunder and steel
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight
I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side
What price in life can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war, just sacrificed a thousand more
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, yaya
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight
What price in life can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war, just sacrificed a thousand more
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, yaya

This song portrays the view of a soldier ready to fight and kill, fueled by the sound of the gun and the thunder and steel surrounding him, exploring themes of war, honor, sacrifice, and the pursuit of power and glory. The soldier is completely committed to his duty, willing to follow any order, and prepared to give his life for the cause. Both power and glory are abstract concepts that represent an ideal that holds great significance for the soldier and what he aspires to, ultimately allowing him to have a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life. It was inspired by the Falklands War, a ten-week undeclared war between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982 over two British-dependent territories in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands and its territorial dependency, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
