Green Fields Of France - The High Kings[00:00:00]

Well how do you do young Willy McBride [00:00:10]

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside[00:00:15]

And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun[00:00:21]

I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done[00:00:26]

I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen[00:00:33]

When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen[00:00:38]

I hope you died well[00:00:45]

And I hope you died clean[00:00:47]

Oh young Willy McBride was is it slow and obscene [00:00:50]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:00:56]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:00:58]

Did they sound the death march as[00:01:01]

They lowered you down [00:01:04]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:01:08]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:01:13]

Did you leave here a wife or a sweetheart behind [00:01:22]

In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined [00:01:28]

Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen[00:01:33]

In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen [00:01:38]

Or are you a stranger without even a name[00:01:45]

Enclosed then forever behind a glass pane[00:01:50]

In an old photograph torn battered and stained[00:01:57]

And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame [00:02:02]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:02:07]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:02:10]

Did they sound the death march as[00:02:13]

They lowered you down [00:02:16]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:02:20]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:02:24]

The sun now shines o'er the green fields of France[00:02:35]

There's a warm summer breeze[00:02:39]

That makes the red poppies dance[00:02:42]

And look how the sun shines from under the clouds[00:02:45]

There's no gas no barbed wire there's no gun firing now[00:02:50]

But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land[00:02:57]

The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand[00:03:02]

To man's blind indifference to his fellow man[00:03:09]

To a whole generation that were butchered and damned[00:03:14]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:03:20]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:03:22]

Did they sound the death march as[00:03:25]

They lowered you down [00:03:28]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:03:32]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:03:36]

Now young Willy McBride I can't help but wonder why [00:03:51]

Do those that lie here know why they died [00:03:57]

And did they believe when they answered the call [00:04:02]

Did they really believe that this war would end wars [00:04:07]

For the sorrow the suffering the glory the shame[00:04:14]

The killing and dying were all done in vain[00:04:19]

For young Willy McBride it all happened again[00:04:26]

And again and again and again and again[00:04:31]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:04:37]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:04:39]

Did they sound the death march as[00:04:42]

They lowered you down [00:04:45]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:04:49]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:04:54]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:05:00]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:05:02]

Did they sound the death march as[00:05:05]

They lowered you down [00:05:07]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:05:11]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest[00:05:17]
