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

Well how do you do young Willy McBride [00:00:37]

Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside[00:00:42]

And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun[00:00:48]

I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done[00:00:52]

I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen[00:00:59]

When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen[00:01:04]

I hope you died well[00:01:11]

And I hope you died clean[00:01:13]

Oh young Willy McBride was is it slow and obscene [00:01:16]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:01:21]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:01:24]

Did they sound the death march as[00:01:27]

They lowered you down [00:01:30]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:01:34]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:01:39]

Did you leave here a wife or a sweetheart behind [00:01:49]

In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined [00:01:55]

Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen[00:02:00]

In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen [00:02:05]

Or are you a stranger without even a name[00:02:12]

Enclosed then forever behind a glass pane[00:02:17]

In an old photograph torn battered and stained[00:02:24]

And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame [00:02:29]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:02:35]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:02:38]

Did they sound the death march as[00:02:40]

They lowered you down [00:02:43]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:02:47]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:02:53]

The sun now shines o'er the green fields of France[00:03:03]

There's a warm summer breeze[00:03:08]

That makes the red poppies dance[00:03:10]

And look how the sun shines from under the clouds[00:03:14]

There's no gas no barbed wire there's no gun firing now[00:03:19]

But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land[00:03:26]

The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand[00:03:31]

To man's blind indifference to his fellow man[00:03:39]

To a whole generation that were butchered and damned[00:03:44]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:03:49]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:03:52]

Did they sound the death march as[00:03:55]

They lowered you down [00:03:57]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:04:02]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest [00:04:07]

Now young Willy McBride I can't help but wonder why [00:04:17]

Do those that lie here know why they died [00:04:23]

And did they believe when they answered the call [00:04:29]

Did they really believe that this war would end wars [00:04:33]

For the sorrow the suffering the glory the shame[00:04:41]

The killing and dying were all done in vain[00:04:46]

For young Willy McBride it all happened again[00:04:52]

And again and again and again and again[00:04:58]

Did they beat the drums slowly [00:05:03]

Did they play the fife lowly [00:05:06]

Did they sound the death march as[00:05:09]

They lowered you down [00:05:12]

Did the band play the Last Post in chorus [00:05:16]

Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest[00:05:21]
