Fly The Flags
Into the valleys of death they all rodeAnother six hundred brave foolhardy soulsAnd history's lessons will never be learnedWhile countries insist they know better than yoursCh.Fly the flags for freedomDemocracy under the gunFly the flags for freedomWe'll soon have them all on the runOwen and Sassoon and Lorca they knewThat banners of victory take on death's bright hueWhen cannons and gunfire replace spoken wordsThe voices of reason all cease to be heardA patriot's cry from the heart of our isleRings clear and proud in our national mindA clarion for freedom for what's right and trueDon't soul-search too much you might hate what you find.And what makes you think that you're better than themA history of carnage and slaughter and thenA few years of peace and you start it againAnd you still think your flag is no banner of shame?
