Armalite, street lights, night sights[00:00:25]

Searching the roofs for a sniper, a viper, a fighter[00:00:30]

Death in the shadows he'll maim you,[00:00:38]

He'll wound you, he'll kill you[00:00:41]

For a long forgotten cause,[00:00:45]

On not so foreign shores[00:00:49]

Boys baptized in war, boys baptized in war[00:00:53]

Morphine, chill scream, bad dream[00:01:30]

Serving as numbers on dog tags,[00:01:35]

Flak rags, sand bags[00:01:39]

Your girl has married your best friend,[00:01:42]

Loves end, poison pen[00:01:46]

Your flesh will always creep, tossing turning sleep[00:01:51]

The wounds that burn so deep, burn so deep[00:02:05]

Your mother sits on the edge of the world[00:02:23]

When the cameras start to roll,[00:02:25]

Panoramic viewpoint resurrect the killing fold[00:02:28]

Your father drains another beer,[00:02:32]

He's one of the few that cares[00:02:34]

Crawling behind a Saracen's hull[00:02:36]

From the safety of his living room chair[00:02:39]

Forgotten sons, forgotten sons, forgotten sons[00:02:46]

And so as I patrol in the valley[00:04:15]

Of the shadow of the Tricolor[00:04:17]

I must fear evil,[00:04:18]

For I am but mortal and mortals can only die[00:04:21]

Asking questions, pleading answers[00:04:29]

From the nameless faceless watchers[00:04:32]

That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall[00:04:34]

Who orders desecration, mutilation[00:04:43]

Verbal masturbation[00:04:50]

In the guarded bureaucratic wombs[00:04:51]

Minister, Minister care for your children[00:04:57]

Order them not into damnation[00:05:04]

To eliminate those who would trespass against you[00:05:05]

For whose is the kingdom, the power,[00:05:11]

The glory for ever and ever[00:05:14]

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen[00:05:24]

Halt who goes there[00:05:40]

Death[00:05:41]

Approach friend[00:05:43]

You're just another coffin,[00:06:00]

On its way down the Emerald Isle[00:06:03]

When your children's stony glances mourn[00:06:06]

Your death in a terrorist's smile[00:06:10]

The bomber's arm placing fiery gifts[00:06:13]

On the supermarket shelves[00:06:16]

Alley sings with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell[00:06:20]

Forgotten sons, forgotten sons[00:06:32]

From the dole queue[00:06:53]

To the regiment a profession in a flash[00:06:54]

But remember,[00:07:00]

Monday signings went from door to door you dash[00:07:01]

On the news a nation mourns[00:07:06]

You unknown soldier count the cost[00:07:09]

For a second you'll be famous but labeled posthumous[00:07:13]

Forgotten son, forgotten son,[00:07:26]

Forgotten son, forgotten son[00:07:39]

They're still forgotten, they're still, still forgotten[00:07:46]

Peace on earth and mercy mild,[00:08:00]

Mother Brown has lost her child[00:08:03]

Just another forgotten son[00:08:09]
