(Gary Moore)

It doesn't matter

if you're wrong or if you're right.

It makes no difference

if you're black or if you're white.

All men are equal

till the victory is won.

No colour or religion

ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields,

the fighting has begun.

Out on the streets,

they're falling one by one.

Out from the skies,

a thousand more will die each day.

Death is just a heartbeat away.

It doesn't matter

if you're left or to the right.

Don't try to hide behind the cause

for what you fight.

There'll be no prisoners taken

when the day is done.

No flag or uniform

ever stopped the bullet from a gun.

Out in the fields,

the fighting has begun.

Out on the streets,

they're falling one by one.

Out from the skies,

a thousand more will die each day.

Death is just a heartbeat away.

There's no communication,

no one to take the blame.

The cries of every nation

have fallen on deaf ears again.

Out in the fields.

Out in the fields.

They are falling one by one.

Out in the fields.

No flag has ever stopped

the bullet from a gun.

Death is just a heartbeat away.

Out in the fields,

a heartbeat away.

Out in the fields.

Death is just a heartbeat away.

Out in the fields,

a heartbeat away.

Out in the fields.

In the fields,

the fighting has begun.

Out on the streets,

they're falling one by one.

Out from the skies,

a thousand more will die each day.
