《Forgotten Sons(Live At The Marquee 30/12/82)》歌词

[00:00:25] Armalite, street lights, night sights

[00:00:30] Searching the roofs for a sniper, a viper, a fighter

[00:00:38] Death in the shadows he'll maim you,

[00:00:41] He'll wound you, he'll kill you

[00:00:45] For a long forgotten cause,

[00:00:49] On not so foreign shores

[00:00:53] Boys baptized in war, boys baptized in war

[00:01:30] Morphine, chill scream, bad dream

[00:01:35] Serving as numbers on dog tags,

[00:01:39] Flak rags, sand bags

[00:01:42] Your girl has married your best friend,

[00:01:46] Loves end, poison pen

[00:01:51] Your flesh will always creep, tossing turning sleep

[00:02:05] The wounds that burn so deep, burn so deep

[00:02:23] Your mother sits on the edge of the world

[00:02:25] When the cameras start to roll,

[00:02:28] Panoramic viewpoint resurrect the killing fold

[00:02:32] Your father drains another beer,

[00:02:34] He's one of the few that cares

[00:02:36] Crawling behind a Saracen's hull

[00:02:39] From the safety of his living room chair

[00:02:46] Forgotten sons, forgotten sons, forgotten sons

[00:04:15] And so as I patrol in the valley

[00:04:17] Of the shadow of the Tricolor

[00:04:18] I must fear evil,

[00:04:21] For I am but mortal and mortals can only die

[00:04:29] Asking questions, pleading answers

[00:04:32] From the nameless faceless watchers

[00:04:34] That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall

[00:04:43] Who orders desecration, mutilation

[00:04:50] Verbal masturbation

[00:04:51] In the guarded bureaucratic wombs

[00:04:57] Minister, Minister care for your children

[00:05:04] Order them not into damnation

[00:05:05] To eliminate those who would trespass against you

[00:05:11] For whose is the kingdom, the power,

[00:05:14] The glory for ever and ever

[00:05:24] Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

[00:05:40] Halt who goes there

[00:05:41] Death

[00:05:43] Approach friend

[00:06:00] You're just another coffin,

[00:06:03] On its way down the Emerald Isle

[00:06:06] When your children's stony glances mourn

[00:06:10] Your death in a terrorist's smile

[00:06:13] The bomber's arm placing fiery gifts

[00:06:16] On the supermarket shelves

[00:06:20] Alley sings with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell

[00:06:32] Forgotten sons, forgotten sons

[00:06:53] From the dole queue

[00:06:54] To the regiment a profession in a flash

[00:07:00] But remember,

[00:07:01] Monday signings went from door to door you dash

[00:07:06] On the news a nation mourns

[00:07:09] You unknown soldier count the cost

[00:07:13] For a second you'll be famous but labeled posthumous

[00:07:26] Forgotten son, forgotten son,

[00:07:39] Forgotten son, forgotten son

[00:07:46] They're still forgotten, they're still, still forgotten

[00:08:00] Peace on earth and mercy mild,

[00:08:03] Mother Brown has lost her child

[00:08:09] Just another forgotten son
