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
