Gary Moore Wild Frontier Lyrics

Wild Frontier Lyrics

I remember the old country 
They call the emerald land 
And I remember my hometown 
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 goin` back to the wild frontier 
Back to the wild frontier, it`s calling 
Back to the wild frontier 
We`re goin` 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 drowning in a sea of blood 
The victims you have seen 
Never more to sing again 
The Forty Shades Of Green 
 
We`re goin` 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 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
