Armalite street lights night sights

Searching the roofs for a sniper a viper a fighter

Death in the shadows he'll maim you he'll wound you he'll kill you

For a long forgotten cause on not so foreign shores

Boys baptized in war boys baptized in war

**** chill scream bad dream

Serving as numbers on dog tags flak rags sand bags

Your girl has married your best friend loves end poison pen

Your flesh will always creep tossing turning sleep

The wounds that burn so deep burn so deep

Your mother sits on the edge of the world

When the cameras start to roll

Panoramic viewpoint resurrect the killing fold

Your father drains another beer he's one of the few that cares

Crawling behind a Saracen's hull from the safety of his living room chair

Forgotten sons forgotten sons forgotten sons

And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolor

I must fear evil for I am but mortal and mortals can only die

Asking questions pleading answers

From the nameless faceless watchers

That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall

Who orders desecration mutilation

Verbal masturbation in the guarded bureaucratic wombs

Minister Minister care for your children

Order them not into d**nation

To eliminate those who would trespass against you

For whose is the kingdom the power the glory for ever and ever

Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen

Halt who goes there

Death

Approach friend

You're just another coffin on its way down the Emerald Isle

When your children's stony glances mourn

Your death in a terrorist's smile

The bomber's arm placing fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves

Alley sings with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell

Forgotten sons forgotten sons

From the dole queue to the regiment a profession in a flash

But remember Monday signings went from door to door you dash

On the news a nation mourns you unknown soldier count the cost

For a second you'll be famous but labeled posthumous

Forgotten son forgotten son forgotten son forgotten son

They're still forgotten they're still still forgotten

Peace on earth and mercy mild Mother Brown has lost her child

Just another forgotten son
