Lyrics

It's a cold and dark night for the soldiers
They're a long way from home
In a place where they're losing their youth
In a war where they take no prisoners
It's to live or be gone
Now it is down to the truth

Left their lives behind, all the lovers, all the wives
Goodbye to everything at home
Will the ship return, will they come back alive
Only the strong survive

Kombat, Kombat
Look at the fear in their eyes
Kombat, Kombat
Surely they realize
It's to live or die

It's a cold dark night for the youngsters
Risking their lives
Look at the courage they have
Just scars they get from the army
No glittering prize
What kind of future they have

Left their dreams behind for somebody else's strife
Goodbye to innocence and youth
Will the ship return, will they come back alive
Only the strong survive
