What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Armalite, street lights, night-sights
2
Searching the roofs for a sniper, viper, fighter
3
Death in the shadows he'll maim you, wound you, he'll kill you
4
For long-forgotten cause, on not so foreign shores
5
Boys baptised in wars
6
Morphine, chill stream, bad dream
7
Serving as numbers on dogtags, flak-rags, sandbags
8
Your girl has married your best friend, love's end, poison pen
9
Your flesh will always creep, tossing turning sleep
10
The wounds that burn so deep
11
Your mother sits on the edge of the world
12
When the cameras start to roll
13
Panoramic viewpoints resurrect the killing fold
14
Your father drains another beer he's one of the few that cares
15
Crawling behind a Saracen's hull
16
From the safety of his living room chair
17
Forgotten Sons, forgotten Sons, forgotten Sons
18
And so I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolor
19
I must fear evil for I am but mortal and mortals can only die
20
Asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless
21
Faceless watchers that stalk the carpeted corridors of Whitehall
22
Who order desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation
23
In their guarded bureaucratic wombs
24
Minister, Minister care for your children, order them not
25
Into damnation to eliminate those who would trespass
26
Against you, for whose is the kingdom?
27
The power and the Glory, forever and ever
28
Amen
29
Halt who goes there?
30
death
31
Approach.... friend
32
You're just another coffin on its way down the emerald aisle
33
Where the children's stony glances mourn your death
34
In a terrorist's smile
35
The bomber's arm places fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves
36
Alleys sing with shrapnel, dance in a temporary hell
37
Forgotten Sons
38
From the dole queue to the regiment a profession in a flash
39
But remember Monday's signings when from door to door you dash
40
On the news a nation mourns your unknown soldier count the cost
41
For a second you'll be famous but labelled posthumous
42
Forgotten Sons
43
Forgotten Sons
44
Ring o' roses, they all fall down
45
Peace on earth and mercy mild, Mother Brown has lost her child
46
Just another Forgotten Son
