Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
now paradise is lost

Nope. It's by Duran Duran, and it was released in 1988.
But listened to from the context of history, it has rather a tragic irony to it, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, Simon Le Bon blows the first two lines of the third verse in this version (he sings the beginning of the second one twice), but it's still my favorite of the few I could find online.
After about three minutes, though, it devolves into an endless jam; so you should feel free to turn it off after that.
