lyrics
with ten long years of war at our backs
we can't even remember who's on the attack
there's invisible kings who tell us who to fear
and who we are fighting and why we are here
i come from the country, we've always been poor
since i was a young boy, this land's been at war
the man marched off places we'd never seen
but we knew them well enough by the image on the screen
recall if you can that merry green land
those beautiful spires and domes
now we wait on the plain, we few who remain
and wonder if we'll ever get home
after ten long years in the enemy's eyes
baptized by fire and unrecognized
when in the lonely night you hear a watchman's call
you do start to wonder about life behind those walls
when i grew old enough i knew i'd enlist
a man fights for what's right and he fights for what's his
i swore when i set out, i'll do all i can
i came here a boy and now i'm an old man
recall if you can that merry green land
those beautiful spires and domes
now we wait on the plain, we few who remain
and wonder if we'll ever get home
fight on for your country, fight on for your god
just keep fighting and never mind why
it seems there's no end but please never surrender
to give up is surely to die
recall if you can that merry green land
those beautiful spires and domes
now we wait on the plain, we few who remain
and wonder if we'll ever get home
