Iron Hand
With all the clarity of dreams
Sky so blue, grass so green
Rank and file and the navy blue
Deep and strong, straight and true
The blue line they got the given sign
Belts and boots march forward in time
Wood and the leather, club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield
Now with all the clarity of dream
Blood so red, grass so green
Gleam of spur on the chestnut flank
Cavalry did burst upon the ranks
The iron will and the iron hand
In england's green and pleasant land
No music for this shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen
Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armour, days of yore
Same old fears and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times
