[Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus]

Do I hear what I think I'm hearing?
Do I see the sights I think I see,
or is this just a fantasy
Is it true that the beast is waking?
Stirring in his restless sleep tonight,
in the pale moonlight
In the grip of this cold December,
you and I have reason to remember

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs
that you and I don't sing
They blow their horns and march along
They drum their drums and look so strong
You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs
that you and I won't sing
Let's not look the other way,
taking a chance
'Cause if the bugler starts to play,
we too must dance

What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble?
Won't somebody tell me what I hear,
in the distance but drawing near
Is it only a storm approaching?
All that thunder and the blinding light,
in the winter night
In the grip of this cold December,
you and I have reason to remember

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs
that you and I don't sing
They blow their horns and march along
They drum their drums and look so strong
You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs
that you and I won't sing
Let's not look the other way,
taking a chance
'Cause if the bugler starts to play,
we too must dance

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing the songs
that you and I won't sing
Let's not look the other way,
taking a chance
'Cause if the bugler starts to play,
we too must dance
