Protocol Lyrics

Protocol lyrics

Who are these ones who would lead us now

 To the sound of a thousand guns

 Who'd storm the gates of hell itself

 To the tune of a single drum

 Where are the girls of the neighborhood bars

 Whose loves were lost at sea

 In the hills of France and on German soil

 >From Saigon to Wounded Knee

 Who come from long lines of soldiers

 Whose duty was fulfilled

 In the words of a warriors will

 And protocol

 

 Where are the boys in their coats of blue

 Who flew when their eyes were blind

 Was God in town for the Roman games

 Was he there when the deals were signed

 Who are the kings in their coats of mail

 Who road by the cross to die

 Did they all go down into worthiness

 Is it wrong for a king to cry

 And who are these ones who would have us now

 Whose presence in concealed

 Whose nature is revealed

 In a time bomb

 

 Last of all you old seadogs

 Who travel after whale

 You'd storm the gates of hell itself

 For the taste of a mermaid's tail

 Who come from long lines of skippers

 Whose duty was fulfilled

 In the words of a warrior's will

 And protocol
