Midnight Oil – Forgotten Years Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about WW1, with some specific references to Australia

"Few are the sins....upon the son"- the Father is Britain, Australia is the son, the sin is the war

"Signatures stained with tears"- Australians weren't conscripted, the signed up, and would regret it

"Our shoreline was....strong to contain"- Australia wasnt invaded because of those who fought an died to protect it, the calm we breath is peace, the feeling is freedom

This is simply a song about remembering the sacrifice made by all soldiers during war
