It's a golden age that's what they say Well no one argued anyway I gave my all and I tried my best Here's my body laid to rest Scattered flowers upon the sand And all the young folks don't understand And here I ride all made of stone All forgotten all alone Have you seen the lightening times I ran All the good deeds I have done Now they lay my body in the ground Now my race is over my battle nearly run The angels came to greet me and take me to the sun All my trials over and finally I'm free To rest beneath the sky with my family In a foreign field they laid my bones And it counts for nothing I never made it home Through blood and earth and an old headstone Forever england forever home Have you seen the lightening times I ran All the good things I could have done Now they lay my body in the ground All my trials over my battle nearly run The angels came to greet me and tell me what I'd done My mother and my father and my whole family Will rest beneath the sky Finally I'm free. Look who's laughing now
