Dire Straits "Iron Hand" lyrics

Translation to:uk

Iron Hand

With all the clarity of dreamThe sky so blue, the grass so greenThe rank and file and the navy blueThe deep and strong, the straight and true

The blue line they got the given signThe belts and boots march forward in timeThe wood and leather club and shieldSwept like a wave across the battlefield

Now with all the clarity of dreamThe blood so red, the grass so greenThe gleam of spur on chestnut flankThe cavalry did burst upon the ranks

Oh the iron will and the iron handIn England's green and pleasant landNo music for the shameful sceneThat night they said it had even shocked the Queen

Well alas we've seen it all beforeKnights in armour, days of yoreThe same old fears and the same old crimesWe haven't changed since ancient times
