Warsong Lyrics

With a downward blast
From his doughy arse
Like a lance of fire
He shot up the mast
As he mumbled blasphemous epitaphs
"I am the sailor!"

And the captain cried with a mighty heave-ho
"Enemy sighted on the starboard bow!
Load your cannons, let 'em go,

And the general sighed, "This is our last stand,
Let every man say 'Amen'.
For we'll not see daylight again
And God is on our side, boys."

Well, the airman plunged into the pine
And the sailor drowned in the briny brine
And the soldier in haste put his foot on a mine
And it comes to all in time, boys
For on the day they died, boys
God was on the other side, boys
