"Iron Hand" Lyrics

Now with all the clarity of a dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file in the navy blue
Deep and strong, straight and true

The blue line, they got the given sign
The belts and boots march forward in time
The wood and leather, club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield

Now with all the clarity of a dream
The blood so red, the grass so green
The gleam of spur on a chestnut flank
The cavalry that burst upon the ranks

Oh, the iron will, and the iron hand
Bend England's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night, they say, it had even shocked the queen

And alas, we've seen it all before
Knights in armor, days of yore
Same old fears and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times
