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
