Iron Hand

Mark Knopfler

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 march 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 of yore


the same old fears and the same old crimes


we haven't changed since ancient times
