Big Country - Where The Rose Is Sown

Tekst piosenki:

we're at war all the papers say


we will win i read today

we are strong it wasn't us


we are right who started this?

leave your work i just left school


leave your home i am no fool

take up arms it left me strong


sound alarms the school bell rings

sons of men who stand like gods


we give life to feed the cause

and run to ground our heathen foe


our name will never die

this time will be forever




join up here i wave goodbye

we need you oh my breast sighs


have no fear i must try

god will be with braver men


take the vow i know its right

praise the flag the good fight


we're at war i'm on my way

we will win why do i pray ?


i wait here in this hole

playing poker with my soul


i hold the rifle close to me

it lights the way to keep me free




if i die in a combat zone

box me up and ship me home


if i die and still come home

lay me where the rose is sown


sons of men who stand like gods

we give life to feed the cause


and run to ground our heathen foe

our name will never die


this time will be forever
