Red on Green

Now all is gone
Only words remain
Words I write to you my love
One last sweet refrain

When the order came
Early in the dawn
Soldiers into battle
Falling one by one

Then I stood alone
I knew it was my turn
Falling into darkness
Never to return

No more will I see the light
That dances in your eyes
No more watch the flowers bloom
When fleeting swallows fly
The last light of the summer
Has faded away
Gone forever, gone forever more

Blood red on green
Colours that I wear
I am calling out your name
Can you hear
I am calling out your name
Can you hear
