Kingdom Of The Cross Lyrics - Battering Ram - Saxon

What is this place across the fields 

Where poppies stretch and sway 

In Flanders, days of war are gone 

But memories will remain 

Comrades of their different coats 

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 much at all 

To the generals how you died 

But to your families back 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So wave the flags and say goodbye 

To a generation lost 

They're marching into history 

To the kingdom 

The kingdom of the cross 

Across the Somme and Flanders lay 

A generation gone 

Came to fight the war of wars 

The father and the son 

Marching bands and cheers of joy 

Sent you on your way 

To face the bloody battlefields 

And lives just thrown away 

An inch of ground was heavy won and lost 

Too much a price to pay 

Young men lost 

Their future gone 

That's all there is to say 

Photos 

So wave the flags and say goodbye 

To a generation lost 

They're marching into history 

To the kingdom 

The kingdom of the cross 

The papers said you'd all be home for Christmas 

The politicians sang their battle hymn 

Soon the guns will start the slaughter 

And the end of innocence will begin 

There's no one left that made it home 

Their eyes will see no more 

Gone to meet their fallen friends 

In Flanders' fields of war 

In the kingdom of the cross 

Lay a generation gone 

Remember they were men like us 

Remember everyone 

So wave your flags and say goodbye 

To a generation lost 

They're marching into history 

To the slaughter and the loss 

Remember 

A generation lost 

They're marching out together 

To the kingdom 

To the kingdom of the cross
