Iron Hand

Iron Hand by Dire Straits With all the clarity of dream The sky so blue, the grass so green The rank and file and the navy blue The deep and strong, the straight and true The blue line they got the given sign The belts and boots march forward in time The wood and leather the club and shield Swept like a wave across the battlefield Now with all the clarity of dream The blood so red, the grass so green The gleam of spur on chestnut flank The cavalry did burst upon the ranks Oh the iron will and iron hand In englands green and pleasant land No music for the shameful scene That night they said it had even shocked the queen Well alas weve seen it all before Knights in armour, days of yore The same old fears and the same old crimes We havent changed since ancient times www.internet-artworks.com
