Lyr Req: Flesh & Blood soundtrack

There is a film by Paul Verhoeven called "Flesh & Blood" with medieval music by Atrium Musicae de Madrid on the soundtrack. In it there is a song that begins,

"Don't become a soldier unless you love to fight...".

It is reminiscient of a broadside ballad and I have never heard it before. Does anyone know the name of this song? It is possible that it was written by Basil Poledorius, the films composer yet it has a very authentic feel. Any clues would be appreciated.

And it goes on to say:

"Soldiers fight to win the war, oh Soldiers fight to win the war,oh

Sometimes the only peace we find Is the piece we get from a whore, oh

Don't become a soldier unless you like to fight hard
Sleep and eat and drink your fill and spend your every night hard
Soldiers fight to win the laurel
Sometimes the only peace we find
Is the peace that we get from a hurt or wound
Don't become a soldier unless you like to fight hard
Sleep and eat and drink your fill and spend your every night hard
