Where The Rose Is Sown Lyrics - The Best Of Big Country - Big Country

We're at war?All the papers say 

We will win?I read today 

We are strong?It wasn't us 

We are right?Who started this 

Leave your work?I just left school 

Leave your home?I am no fool 

Take up arms?It left me strong 

Sound alarms?The school bell rings 

Sons of men who stand like Gods 

We give life to feed the cause 

And run to ground our heathen foe 

Our name will never die 

This time will be forever 

Join up here?I wave good-bye 

We need you?Oh my breast sighs 

Have no fear?Now I must try 

God will be?With braver men 

Take the vow?I know it's right 

Praise the flag?The good fight 

We're at war?I'm on my way 

We will win?Why do I pray 

Sons of men who stand like gods 

We give life to feed the cause 

And run to ground our heathen foe 

Our name will never die 

This time will be forever 

I wait here in this hole 

Playing poker with my soul 

I hold the rifle close to me 

It lights the way to keep me free 

If I die in a combat zone 

Box me up and ship me home 

If I die and still come home 

Lay me where the rose is sown 

Sons of men who stand like gods 

We give life to feed the cause 

And run to ground our heathen foe 

Our name will never die 

This time will be forever
