Iron Hand

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 marched forward in time 
The wood and the 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 the chestnut flank 
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks 

Oh the iron will and the iron hand 
In england's green and pleasant land 
No music for the shameful scene 
That night they said it had even shocked the queen 

Well alas we've seen it all before 
Knights in armour, days for yore 
The same old fears and the same old crimes 
We haven't changed since ancient times
