Saxon - Kingdom Of The Cross lyrics

What is this place across the field Where poppies stretch and sway In Flanders days of war are gone But memories will remain 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 million spirits cry A generation loved and lost Never asking why It didn't matter you told to the general, it's how you died 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 million spirits cry A generation loved and lost Never asking why So wave the flags and say goodbye To a generation lost They are marching out to history To the kingdom The kingdom of the cross A cross the psalm and Flanders lay A generation gone Came to fight the war of the wars The father and the son Marching band cheer of joy Sent you on your way To face the brooding battle fields And lives just thrown away An inch of ground was heavy won and lost Too much a price to pay Young man lost Their future gone That's all there is to say So save the flags and say goodbye To a generation lost They are marching into history To the kingdom The kingdom of the cross 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 Another generation gone Remember they were men like us Remember everyone So wave your flags and say goodbye To a generation lost They are marching into history To the slaughter and the loss Remember.... A generation lost They are marching out Together To the kingdom... To the kingdom... of.. the cross (cross)
