Flame of War Lyrics

The flag upon the hill is waving in the dawn
The landscape lies in silent peace waiting for the morn
The Irish colors sparkling in the children's eyes
Calm sea in the haven where the "Pride of Ireland" lies
But dark clouds gathered all around
False pride and hatred will be bound
From far beyond the sea across the rivers wide
They come straight down from that hill, the fire's burning bright
"The Village Inn" where people met is dead and gone
Road blocks on the street, they burn - arsonists have won

And dark clouds gathered all around
False pride and hatred will be bound

Give me an answer, one reason more
Why so many brothers must die in the flame of war

One land, one nation, even religion's the same
But they're all to take the blame
Oh - it's a dirty betrayal
Of the book that they swore to believe in
But they accept to live in sin
Now they swear they won't give in

Give me an answer, one reason for
Why so many brothers
Must die in the flame of war
