jeopardy - skyclad lyrics

Loading...

as the daylight starts to fade –
twisting shadows all around.
dead soldiers on parade –
the ghosts of porton down.

hidden from the public eye, “a cause for regret”
wrote the brigadier-general with the chemistry set.
“can’t be more specific – the matter’s confidential,
links with other incidents are just coincidental.”

in jeopardy – welcome to the lion’s den,
we skate on thin ice – dice with death.
while young boys drown in seas of poison –
we are the plagiarists of breath.

we go left right left right left –
they’re left in the right again.
we go right left right left right –
we’ve no rights left anymore.

military science picking the locks
of a 20th century pandora’s box.

a father tells a son,
“the army makes a man of you.”
now all vital signs are gone –
another joins the countless few.

mentioned in dispatches – they tell the same old story,
‘dulce et decorum est pro patria mori,”
they listened to him screaming –
they sat and watched him writhe,
taking turns observing as his body burns alive.

rifles firing at the sky –
as the “last post” starts to play.
young soldiers often die –
and the truth gets filed away.

thomas atkins (private 20967),
now reports for duty –
he’s been posted up to heaven.
enlisted by conscription – a partic-p-nt unwilling.
who didn’t plan to give his life for taking the “king’s shilling”.

in jeopardy – welcome to the lion’s den,
we skate on thin ice – dice with death,
while young boys drown in seas of poison –
we are the plagiarists of breath.
