That night they said it had even shocked the queen
In England's green and pleasant land
Swept like a wave across the battlefield
The gleam of spur on Chestnut flank
Now with all the clarity of dream
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks
The rank and file and the navy blue
The belts and boots march forward in time
Well alas, we've seen it all before
The blood so red, the grass so green
The deep and strong, the straight and true
The blue line they got the given sign
The same old fears and the same old crimes
The wood and the leather, the club and shield
Knights in armour, days of yore
No music for the shameful scene
Oh, the iron will and iron hand
