In between the hills lays a land of green green grass
Where the heavens made their love of life
And gods sung of such sight
Be the lands that they did fight for us
the green green grass

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

In battle times and truces found the land did best
It could
Yet all of them who fought for us they knew and understood
The green land see found their place to die for
Poppy's blood
A land we wished we all could live
A world of peace and love

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

Someday the land will fill our souls and peace will
Win the day
The green green land will be our rest god bless to all we pray
In those who fought so we could see the green green land this way
We praise and silence once a year
Remembrance
Poppy day

The taste in my mouth came bitter
Words from these cold hard lips
Vented a fire
I was ready to lavish

So you closed the door
And all around me fell away
The heat that I drank from
All washed and pressed into
A letter

No smell of your perfume
A kiss missing pose
Just forms all in black
As I read into silence

My rock crumbled with every
tear
Failed foolery wished
A turn back the clocks
I have become the lost

An end that started so well
Fell before my weary sadness
Oh how I miss you
So silently I step away

All day had been spent in the trenches
The boy had been busy
His knife now blunt yet he was happy
The name was written
The gun all gleaming

The black hands had done their fill
And the boy was ready
The bullet had been named
And the boy was ready
He would sleep well tonight

A dream of the morning hate came to his reality
Stand too !!!
Stand too !!!
And the boy was ready

He took his position on the fire step
And the boy was ready
Fire ....
Fire .....
Fire ......
A white ashen man stepped down

My great Uncle never told me anymore about that day
Nor of the atrocities that were bestowed on him
Yet the few photo's I have sit proud on my wall at home
Along with his medals

We will remember them

With my opened eyes the world came to my focus
Here before me through the glassed prison
Called home
The mist had taken control
And this was my wake

The world had lost its colour
My life had broken down
This heart was left in pieces
Last night I was the clown

Another faded evening
Of wanted love and care
Instead I drank for freedom
I drank because I dared

At first they wanted friendship
A happy place to be
The drinks all round god bless em
Until the wait and see
Until the wait and see

My inner man did show them
The real one inside
All plots are going broken
I'm ready for the ride

The last of night was over
My head did bow in shame
The dawning of the future
The mist did lay its claim

So now I wait
Let the mist fade  

Give me peace for just an hour
Release me let me free
Let me free

My god lives with em
She likes it when I smile
Look up at the blue
Squint in the sun
Roar when I run

Inside I feel em
Yet she knows I know
No morals
Lost
Just respect
Not for show

My cross aint for real
No burning
Just the em and god
No big deal

See I am the one
A one for the all
There is no beginning
It's all a big fail
See I am the dust
I am the present
And I be the future
I be the life

A life from the past is the way of the here time
No hidden for genders
We all breath the lifeline
I am
Em
I am my own
God

In her little black dress all covered in white
She looked at me and turned
Eyes away  
Eyes so sad
Waiting and needing a better place

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

Her love was lost
Gone
Far away and so the eyes sighed
A sadness
Life that told me a waiting
Wishing a better here

But that is not the now
Then is not the here
When is not the want
Now is not the need

Sad are the eyes in her heart
Sad are the lips that want
Sad in her face comes a cry for the help
A one day near
A one day home

My reaching hand held a chance
A turn away
A sound of silence
Broke my madness
I tried
Sad are the eyes before me
That turned and looked away
