 Marching through countries they'd  never seen

 Virgins with rifles, a game of charades

 The children of England would never be slaves



    C                  Bm                G

 They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves



     C          G       C            G

 The Flower of England face down in the mud



     C              Bm                       G

 And stained in the blood of a whole generation
