Genesis – Dance On A Volcano Lyrics 10 years ago
This song is about "going over the top" in WWI Blue crosses and Green crosses refers to the markings on the shells of poison gas shells; the pack on your back is turning you round refers to the soldiers who carried their packs being slowed down during the charge. Crack in Mother Earth referring to trenches...the clincher for me was towards the end of the song you can hear a whistle being blown..whistles were used to signal the charge because they were easier to hear in the din of battle....
