Big Country - Where The Rose Is Sown 1984 <br /> <br />We're at war All the papers say <br />We will win I read today <br />We are strong It wasn't us <br />We are right Who started this? <br />Leave your work I just left school <br />Leave your home I am no fool <br />Take up arms It left me strong <br />Sound alarms The school bell rings <br /> <br />Sons of men who stand like gods <br />We give life to feed the cause <br />And run to ground our heathen foe <br />Our name will never die <br />This time will be forever <br /> <br />Join up here I wave goodbye <br />We need you Oh my breast sighs <br />Have no fear I must try <br />God will be with braver men <br />Take the vow I know its right <br />Praise the flag The good fight <br />We're at war I'm on my way <br />We will win Why do I pray? <br /> <br />Sons of men who stand like gods <br />We give life to feed the cause <br />And run to ground our heathen foe <br />Our name will never die <br />This time will be forever <br /> <br />I wait here in this hole <br />Playing poker with my soul <br />I hold the rifle close to me <br />It lights the way to keep me free <br />If I die in a combat zone <br />Box me up and ship me home <br />If I die and still come home <br />Lay me where the rose is sown <br /> <br />Sons of men who stand like gods <br />We give life to feed the cause <br />And run to ground our heathen foe <br />Our name will never die <br />This time will be forever
