(Derek Disck/Steve Rothery/ Pete Trewavas/ Micheal Pointer/Mark Kelly/Diz Minnett/Brian Jellyman)
2
Armalite, street lights, nightsights
3
Searching the roofs for a sniper, a viper, a fighter
4
Death in the shadows he'll maim you, he'll wound you, he'll kill you
5
For a long forgotten cause
6
On not so foreign shores
7
Boys baptised in war
8
Boys baptised in war
9
Morphine, chill scream, bad dream
10
Serving as numbers on dogtags, flakrags, sandbags
11
Your girl has married your best friend, loves end, poison pen
12
Your flesh will always creep, tossing turning sleep
13
The wounds that burn so deep, burn so deep
14
Your mother sits on the edge of the world when the cameras start to roll
15
Panoramic viewpoint resurrect the killing fold
16
Your father drains another beer, he's one of the few that cares
17
Crawling behind a Saracen's hull from the safety of his living room chair
18

Forgotten Sons
21
And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolour I must fear evil
22
For I am but mortal and mortals can only die
23
Asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless faceless watchers
24
That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall
25
Who orders desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation in the guarded bureaucratic wombs
26
Minister, Minister care for your children
27
Order them not into damnation
28
To eliminate those who would trespass against you
29
For whose is the kingdom, the power, the glory for ever and ever
30
Amen

37
"Halt who goes there!" - " Death!!"
38
"Approach ... friend"
39
You're just another coffin on its way down the emerald aisle
40
When your children's stony glances mourn
41
Your death in a terrorist's smile
42
The bomber's arm placing fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves
43
Alley sings with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell
44
Forgotten Sons
45
Forgotten Sons
46
From the dolequeue to the regiment a profession in a flash
47
But remember Monday signings when from door to door you dash
48
On the news a nation mourns you unknown soldier count the cost
49
For a second you'll be famous but labelled posthumous
50
Ring-a-ring-o-roses, they all fall down
51
Ring-a-ring-o-roses, they all fall down
52
Ring-a-ring-o-roses
53
Ring-a-ring-o-roses
54
Ring-a-ring-o-roses, they all fall down
55
Forgotten Son
56
Forgotten Son

Forgotten Son
58
They're still forgotten, they're still still forgotten
59
Peace on earth and mercy mild, Mother Brown has lost her child
60
Just another Forgotten Son
