Honour and Blood

Are those ours, over head?

Why can't they shoot the enemy instead

We took the King's shilling for killing the hun

Over there, they must be blind

They think we're singing songs to pass the time

Walking through land mines ain't really much fun

Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home

They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone

But we didn't come here to die on our own

To be remembered in a tower of stone

For their honour

For their honour and their blood

Honour and blood! (x2)

See the fear, in our eyes

They kick us to make sure we're still alive

To fulfill the duty of shooting someone

If I were dead, I'd understand

But I never thought that I could kill a man

Maybe tomorrow I won't see the sun

Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home

They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone

But we didn't come here to die on our own

To be remembered in a tower of stone

For their honour

For their honour and their blood

Honour and blood! (x2)

Are those ours, over head?

Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home

They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone

But we didn't come here to die on our own

To be remembered in a tower of stone

For their honour

For their honour and their blood

Honour and blood!
