Wild frontier - 2002 - remaster by Gary Moore Lyrics
I remember the old country
They call the emerald land
And I remember my home town
Before the war began
Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The forty shades of green
We're going back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're going back, back to the wild frontier
I remember my city streets
Before the soldiers came
Now armoured cars and barricades
Remind us of our shame
We are riding in a sea of blood
The victims you have seen
Nevermore to sing again
The forty shades of green
We're going back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Those are the days I will remember
Those are the days I most recall
We count the cost of those we've lost
And pray it's not in vain
The bitter tears of all those years
I hope we live to see those days again
Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear us sing again
The forty shades of green
And I remember a friend of mine
So sad now that he's gone
They tell me I'll forget as time goes on
We're going back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're going back, back to the wild frontier
They call the emerald land
And I remember my home town
Before the war began
Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The forty shades of green
We're going back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're going back, back to the wild frontier
I remember my city streets
Before the soldiers came
Now armoured cars and barricades
Remind us of our shame
We are riding in a sea of blood
The victims you have seen
Nevermore to sing again
The forty shades of green
We're going back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Those are the days I will remember
Those are the days I most recall
We count the cost of those we've lost
And pray it's not in vain
The bitter tears of all those years
I hope we live to see those days again
Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear us sing again
The forty shades of green
And I remember a friend of mine
So sad now that he's gone
They tell me I'll forget as time goes on
We're going back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're going back, back to the wild frontier
