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,

For God is on our side, boys."

In the dust and sand

Of a foreign land

With hands afire

He buried his friend

He beat his brow

And cursing fowl, he said,

"I am the soldier."

And the private laughed as he reached the bluff

His gun barrel smoking and enough's enough

"We've done more damage than old MacDuff

And God is on our side, boys."

He flew through the flak

On the first attack

The bomb bay open

On a missile's back

"Here's the payload,"

He crudely spat,

"I am the airman."

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
