Marillion - Forgotten Sons
Armalite, Street Lights, Nightsights
Searching The Roofs For A Sniper, A Viper, A Fighter
Death In The Shadows He'll Maim You, He'll Wound You, He'll Kill You
Boys Baptised In Wars
Morphine, Chill Scream, Bad Dream
For A Long Forgotten Cause, On Not So Foreign Shores
Serving As Numbers On Dogtags, Flakrags, Sandbags
Your Girl Has Married Your Best Friend, Loves End, Poison Pen
Your Flesh Will Always Creep, Tossing Turning Sleep
The Wounds That Burn So Deep
Your Mother Sits On The Edge Of The World
W When The Cameras Start To Roll
Panoramic Viewpoint Resurrect The Killing Fold
Crawling Behind A Saracen's Hull From The Safety Of His Living Room Chwair
Your Father Drains Another Beer, He's One Of The Few That Cares
Forgotten Sons, Forgotten Sons, Forgotten Sons
And So As I Patrol In The Valley Of The Shadow Of The Tricolour
I Must Fear Evil, For I Am But Mortal And Mortals Can Only Die
Asking Questions, Pleading Answers From The Nameless Faceless Watchers
That Stalk The Carpeted Corridors Of Whitehall
I In The Guarded Bureaucratic Wombs
Who Orders Desecration, Mutilation, Verbal Masturbation
To Eliminate Those Who Would Trespass Against You
For Whose Is The Kingdom, The Power, The Glory Forever And Ever, Amen
Minister, Minister Care For Your Children, Order Them Not Into Damnation
Halt Who Goes There, Death, Approach Friend
You're Just Another Coffin On Its Way Down The Emerald Aisle
When Your Children's Stony Glances Mourn Your Death In A Terrorist's Smile
The Bomber's Arm Placing Fiery Gifts On The Supermarket Shelves
Alley Sings With Shrapnel Detonate A Temporary Hell
But Remember Monday Signings When From Door To Door You Dash
Forgotten Sons
From The Dole Queue To The Regiment A Profession In A Flash
On The News A Nation Mourns You Unknown Soldier, Count The Cost
For A Second You'll Be Famous But Labelled Posthumous
Forgotten Sons, Forgotten Sons
Peace On Earth And Mercy Mild, Mother Brown Has Lost Her Child
Just Another Forgotten Son
