[Verse 1]
There's a man walking 'round the island with a snake cane
He picked it up in Thailand from a hurricane
And you know he's not gonna go there
He's been one time too long
Now all the gods are gone
[Verse 2]
The younger boys are drowning in a shallow sea
The night belongs to snipers in palm trees
And their sabres flashed like lightning
In the charge of the last brigade
They must have been afraid
[Chorus]
Soldiers have their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age
[Verse 3]
The blood's running down the blackboard on a blind screen
The convicts shake their cages of a bad dream
And they'll coach you in the classroom that it couldn't happen here
But it has happened here
