DIRE STRAITS - Iron Hand lyrics

rate me

With all the clarity of dream<br>The sky so blue, the grass so green<br>The rank and file and the navy blue<br>The deep and strong, the straight and true<br><br>The blue line they got the given sign<br>The belts and boots march forward in time<br>The wood and leather the club and shield<br>Swept like a wave across the battlefield<br><br>Now with all the clarity of dream<br>The blood so red, the grass so green<br>The gleam of spur on chestnut flank<br>The cavalry did burst upon the ranks<br><br>Oh the iron will and iron hand<br>In england's green and pleasant land<br>No music for the shameful scene<br>That night they said it had even shocked the queen<br><br>Well alas we've seen it all before<br>Knights in armour, days of yore<br>The same old fears and the same old crimes<br>We haven't changed since ancient times
