kingdom of the cross
Singer:saxon
what is this place across the field
where poppies stretch and sway
in flanders days of war are gone
comrades of their different codes came to fight and die
from all sides they stood and fought and fell beneath the sky
where is this land where i am now
a generation loved and lost
it didn't matter you told to the general
but to your families at home you were heroes side by side
the unknown soldier never known
a cross to mark your grave
but we remember what you did
in our hearts you will remain
where is this land where i am now
a generation loved and lost
so wave the flags and say goodbye
they are marching out to history
a cross the psalm and flanders lay
came to fight the war of the wars
marching band cheer of joy
to face the brooding battle fields
and lives just thrown away
an inch of ground was heavy won and lost
that's all there is to say
so save the flags and say goodbye
they are marching into history
the paper said you'd all be home for christmas
but politicians sang their battle hymn
soon the bones will start the slaughter
and end of innocence will begin
there is no one left that made it home
their lives will see no more
gone to meet their fallen friends
in flanders fields of war
in the kingdom of the cross
remember they were men like us
so wave your flags and say goodbye
they are marching into history
to the slaughter and the loss
remember. a generation lost
to the kingdom. to the kingdom. of. the cross
