with all the clarity of dream
  the sky so blue, the grass so green
  the rank and file and the navy blue
  the deep and strong, the straight and true
  
  the blue line they got the given sign
  the belts and boots marched forward in time
  the wood and the leather the club and shield
  swept like a wave across the battlefield
  
  now with all the clarity of dream
  the blood so red, the grass so green
  the gleam of spur on the chestnut flank
  the cavalry did burst upon the ranks
  
  oh the iron will and the iron hand
  in england's green and pleasant land
  no music for the shameful scene
  that night they said it had even shocked the queen
  
  well alas we've seen it all before
  knights in armour, days for yore
  the same old fears and the same old crimes
  we haven't changed since ancient times
