It's the same in every country
When you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones
Waiting silent in the hall
Where you're going lies adventure
Others only dream of
Red and green light this is real
And so you go to war

For the passion, for the glory
For the memories, for the money
You're a soldier, for your country
What's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

There is no one that will save you, going down in flames
No surrender certain death you look in the eye
On the shores of tyranny you crashed a human wave

Sing with the song of Iron Maiden, These Colours Don't Run lyrics!

Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves

For the passion, for the glory
For the memories, for the money
You're a soldier, for your country
What's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Artist Information

Profile:

Founded in London's East End in the late 70s, Iron Maiden released their first album in 1980, with the line-up of Paul Di'anno: vocals, Steve Harris: bass, Dennis Stratton: guitar, Dave Murray: guitar, Clive Burr: drums. 1981's "Killers" album saw Stratton replaced by Adrian Smith; 1982's "Number of the Beast" saw Di'anno replaced by Bruce Dickinson; 1983's "Piece of Mind" saw Burr replaced by Nicko McBrain; Adrian Smith quit and was replaced by Janick Gers for 1990's "No Prayer for the Dying". When Bruce Dickinson quit in 1994 and was replaced by Wolfsbane's Blaze Bayley, the band lost a lot of their fanbase. They recorded two albums with Blaze before Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the fold for 2000's "Brave New World", and 2003's "Dance of Death", making them a six-piece
