The Thin Red Line Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ronmansfield 

Cover art for The Thin Red Line lyrics by Saxon

Song is about the British fighting the Zulu Kingdom in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War; perhaps specifically about Rorke's Drift ('You're the men from Harloch, You are standing proud'). The reference to the 'Queen's light infantry' is suspect, as is the line 'when they hit the (barbed?) wire'. 'Wall' makes more sense for the time period.
