Angel Of Mons

Album: Firedance (1982)

  • As darkness came to wash the carbide smell
    From a day which had seen no peace
    In muddy trenches, frozen to the bone
    We lay in our thousands alone
    Young Tommy groaned as the stones turned red
    From an Englishman's veins bled dry
    By a rain of lead dreamt in the General's head
    Which was never on the line

    Oh – no survivors
    Oh – no survivors
    And there was my Angel
    On that night when only the stars shone
    My vision of safety
    Are you lost to me now?
    Lost to me now
    Are you lost to me now?
    Lost to me now
    Oh – my Angel
    Oh – my Angel
    Oh – my Angel
    My Angel of Mons

    Now again as the swords are drawn
    The lion comes in from the cold
    To lay before the leaders of the kingdom
    The preophecy's foretold
    No-one heard me as I shouted at the night
    The streets were empty but the guns were in sight
    They watched for shadows that were out of place
    The silence stiffened lines across my face
