The Thin Red Line Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JayCeezy 

Cover art for The Thin Red Line lyrics by Saxon

Jesus, this song is so sad. Great bluesy riff, I could listen to a 20-minute version. But in the end, I just think of the brave heroes who did what was right and fought for something greater than themselves.

When I look around me, at the Gameboy playing, iPhone texting, Taco Bell eating, DVD watching children who take for granted all the freedoms and options and choices, I wonder if they ever think twice about the ones who came before to fight and defend western civilization.

Ah, Saxon is almost a pejorative at this point in our time, but the band is a cut above and I love this song's feel and message.
