[00:00.06] Armalite street lights night sights
[00:19.59] Searching the roofs for a sniper a viper a fighter
[00:25.65] Death in the shadows he'll maim you he'll wound you he'll kill you
[00:27.54] For a long forgotten cause on not so foreign shores
[00:39.81] Boys baptized in war boys baptized in war
[00:45.42] Morphine chill scream bad dream
[00:50.25] Serving as numbers on dog tags flak rags sand bags
[01:02.67] Your girl has married your best friend loves end poison pen
[01:08.13] Your flesh will always creep tossing turning sleep
[01:20.01] The wounds that burn so deep burn so deep
[01:26.82] Your mother sits on the edge of the world
[01:40.20] When the cameras start to roll
[01:42.36] Panoramic viewpoint resurrect the killing fold
[01:43.50] Your father drains another beer he's one of the few that cares
[01:48.81] Crawling behind a saracen's hull from the safety of his living room chair
[01:56.37] Forgotten sons forgotten sons forgotten sons
[01:58.23] And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the tricolor
[02:00.57] I must fear evil for I am but mortal and mortals can only die
[02:06.87] Asking questions pleading answers
[02:08.34] From the nameless faceless watchers
[02:11.22] That parade the carpeted corridors of whitehall
[02:16.20] Who orders desecration mutilation
[02:21.03] Verbal masturbation in the guarded bureaucratic wombs
[02:26.40] Minister minister care for your children
[02:34.53] Order them not into d**nation
[02:37.35] To eliminate those who would trespass against you
[02:51.42] For whose is the kingdom the power the glory for ever and ever
[03:59.34] Amen amen amen amen amen
[04:00.00] Halt who goes there
[04:03.57] Death
[04:03.90] Approach friend
[04:04.38] You're just another coffin on its way down the emerald isle
[04:13.11] When your children's stony glances mourn
[04:14.55] Your death in a terrorist's smile
[04:17.33] The bomber's arm placing fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves
[04:21.32] Alley sings with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell
[04:22.50] Forgotten sons forgotten sons
[04:29.88] From the dole queue to the regiment a profession in a flash
[04:33.93] But remember Monday signings went from door to door you dash
[04:40.89] On the news a nation mourns you unknown soldier count the cost
[04:43.74] For a second you'll be famous but labeled posthumous
[04:51.51] Forgotten son forgotten son forgotten son forgotten son
[04:57.87] They're still forgotten they're still still forgotten
[05:05.49] Peace on earth and mercy mild mother brown has lost her child
[05:47.13] Just another forgotten son
