His plane is cruising but its not the jet set
Each flax flanked sortie is like Russian roulette
For him
Hurtling down through the clouds from a mile up above
No adrenaline junkie its just one more job
For him
I was there in Arnhem
In 1943
I saw him killed in action
For me
…and you
a dip in the ocean
no bucket and spade
just mines and barbed wire
and shells German made
for him
rush through the hail
red mist falls again
no paintball adventure
this isn’t a game
for him
I was there in Arnhem
In 1943
I saw him killed in action
For me
…and you
…think about it
