this obviously goes out to the victims of the terrorist strike in iraq. and to those here who know the song and appreciate the ideal behind it (hyena, siren...)
passive fields
january two thousand and three
a nation that stands alone
cold voices, faces pale
gathered unto their judgement day
such pride remains unbroken
such words remain unspoken
just mothers to stand in vain and cry
tears and medals in the rain
shall i recall when justice did prevail?
no reason to be found why reason did fail
the all clear resounding
the way was clear to rebuild this land
shall i call on you to guide me well
to see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
on this day of our ascension
stand your ground, this is what we're fighting for
for our spirit and laws and ways
cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war:
for heaven or hell we shall not wait
shall i think of honour as lies?
or lament its aged slow demise?
shall i stand as a total stranger
on this day in this stone chamber?
the all clear resounding
the way was clear to rebuild this land

on this day of our ascension
on this day
we praise the fallen
stand your ground, this is what we're fighting for
for our spirit and laws and ways
cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war:
for heaven or hell we shall not wait
shall i think of honour as lies?
or lament its aged slow demise?
