Kingdom Of The Cross - Saxon

What is this place across the field

Where poppies stretch and sway

In Flanders days of war are gone

But memories will remain

Comrades of their different codes came to fight and die

From all sides they stood and fought and fell beneath the sky

Where is this land where I am now

A million spirits cry

A generation loved and lost

Never asking why

It didn’t matter you told to the general, it’s how you died

But to your families at home you were heroes side by side

The unknown soldier never known

A cross to mark your grave

But we remember what you did

In our hearts you will remain

Where is this land where I am now

A million spirits cry

A generation loved and lost

Never asking why

So wave the flags and say goodbye

To a generation lost

They are marching out to history

To the kingdom

The kingdom of the cross

A cross the psalm and Flanders lay

A generation gone

Came to fight the war of the wars

The father and the son

Marching band cheer of joy

Sent you on your way

To face the brooding battle fields

And lives just thrown away

An inch of ground was heavy won and lost

Too much a price to pay

Young man lost

Their future gone

That’s all there is to say

So save the flags and say goodbye

To a generation lost

They are marching into history

To the kingdom

The kingdom of the cross

The paper said you’d all be home for Christmas

But politicians sang their battle hymn

Soon the bones will start the slaughter

And end of innocence will begin

There is no one left that made it home

Their lives will see no more

Gone to meet their fallen friends

In Flanders fields of war

In the kingdom of the cross

Another generation gone

Remember they were men like us

Remember everyone

So wave your flags and say goodbye

To a generation lost

They are marching into history

To the slaughter and the loss

Remember…

A generation lost

They are marching out

Together

To the kingdom…

To the kingdom… of… the cross (cross)
