'Soldiers' by Irish singer songwriter Shane For Short was written and recorded in June 2024, and appears on his album 'Alive Again', available here: square.link/u/mUbtk71I
This song was written from the perspective of a woman who has had to fight to survive and thrive whilst being perpetually chased by an army. The song is an analogy for all women who are stronger than they know, braver than they think, and who soldier on in the face of everything they've been through.
The song was inspired by women known to Shane, and by some of the amazing stories he has heard from his fans.
Lyrics:
She’s fighting a war she never can win
Just puts on her armour and goes again
She’s gained her some ground but loses it when
The cannonballs come and they start to send...
Soldiers in the dead of night
Soldiers that she learned to fight
But soldiers don’t give up when you cry
Soldiers to a marching song
Soldiers always coming strong
So she’ll just have to keep soldiering on
She carries a lot wherever she goes
‘Cause what she might need she just never knows
And sleeping with one eye open ‘cause when
They discover her fire they’ll start to send...
Soldiers in the dead of night
Soldiers that she learned to fight
But soldiers don’t give up when you cry
Soldiers to a marching song
Soldiers always coming strong
So she’ll just have to keep soldiering on
And on
She’s watching the sun rise over the hill
And just for a moment her world is still
Then 200 horses and 1000 men
Come chasing their shadows they’re here again
Soldiers in the dead of night
Soldiers that she learned to fight
But soldiers don’t give up when she cries
Soldiers to a marching song
Soldiers always coming strong
But she’ll just have to keep soldiering on
