Red is the colour of the box on the green 
Just like the cross on the flag at sea 
I've got the gentlest hands, And the sweetest smile
I love the ground, Whereon they lie

Red is the colour of buses and trams
Post-boxes line an idealised land 
I've got the sharpest bones, And the cruellest eyes
I love the ground, Whereon they die 

I love death, and well they know 
I love the ground where poppies grow 
I know the day, it soon will come
When they and I can be as one

At the graveside, I smile with glee
Satisfied, I will always be
I conjure a cause, just a few short lines
And they suffer death, a thousand times

Red is the colour that brings them to me 
Their blood and their souls, they gave for free 
The perfect corpse is a call to arms 
I love the ground, whereon young men march 
Red is the colour of the petals they wear
I whisper lies that all is fair 
They called me pride, but my name is war 
I love the ground, Whereon they fall
