Kingdom Of The Cross |
What is this place across the field |
Where poppies stretch and sway |
In Flanders days of war are gone |
But memories will remain |
Comrades of their different codes came to fight and die |
From all sides they stood and fought and fell beneath the sky |
Where is this land where I am now |
A million spirits cry |
A generation loved and lost |
Never asking why |
It didn’t matter you told to the general, it’s how you died |
But to your families at home you were heroes side by side |
The unknown soldier never known |
A cross to mark your grave |
But we remember what you did |
In our hearts you will remain |
Where is this land where I am now |
A million spirits cry |
A generation loved and lost |
Never asking why |
So wave the flags and say goodbye |
To a generation lost |
They are marching out to history |
To the kingdom |
The kingdom of the cross |
A cross the psalm and Flanders lay |
A generation gone |
Came to fight the war of the wars |
The father and the son |
Marching band cheer of joy |
Sent you on your way |
To face the brooding battle fields |
And lives just thrown away |
An inch of ground was heavy won and lost |
Too much a price to pay |
Young man lost |
Their future gone |
That’s all there is to say |
So save the flags and say goodbye |
To a generation lost |
They are marching into history |
To the kingdom |
The kingdom of the cross |
The paper said you’d all be home for Christmas |
But politicians sang their battle hymn |
Soon the bones will start the slaughter |
And end of innocence will begin |
There is no one left that made it home |
Their lives will see no more |
Gone to meet their fallen friends |
In Flanders fields of war |
In the kingdom of the cross |
Another generation gone |
Remember they were men like us |
Remember everyone |
So wave your flags and say goodbye |
To a generation lost |
They are marching into history |
To the slaughter and the loss |
Remember… |
A generation lost |
They are marching out |
Together |
To the kingdom… |
To the kingdom… of… the cross (cross) |
