Forward cries the Captain
As the children start to cry
Forward cries the Captain
For my country I will die
Soldiers are all off to war
There's no hope for humanity no more
Britain is falling and there is nothing I can do
Nothing to save it now except for me and you
Forward for Britain
Victory at our grasp
Forward for Britain
Victory at our grasp
Forward cries the Captain
As the children start to cry
Forward cries the Captain
For my country I will die
The hope citadel of my mind
Is this a memory or a or a torture more sublime?
We're off to fight a war, a war of a vision of love
Heaven is our Britain and exists in a land above
There's men all around, marching off to war
It's the saddest sound when you hear the poor boys fall
Forward for Britain
Victory at our grasp
Forward for Britain
Victory at our grasp
Forward cries the captain
Forward for the Queen
Forward cries the Captain
For the invisible dream
Forward to battle
For your country and queen
Forward to death
Like you were a piece of meat
Fighting in this damned place for a piece of land
Join the British Army and become a man
Forward cries the Captain there's a hill over there
Forward cries the Captain but for Christ's sake beware
Forward to battle for your country and queen.
Forward to death just like you were a piece of meat
Forward cries the Captain
As the children start to cry
Forward cries the Captain
For my country I will die
Forward Cries the Captain, for your country and queen
Forward for Britain, like you were a piece of meat
Forward for Britain, Victory at our grasp
Forward for Britain, Victory at our grasp
