(Gary Moore)

I remember the old country
they call the emerald land
And I remember my home town
before the wars began

Now we're riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green

We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back,
back to the wild frontier

I remember my city streets
before the soldiers came
Now armoured cars and barricades
remind us of our shame

We are drowning in a sea of blood,
the victims you have seen
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green

We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling

Those are the days I will remember
Those are the days I most recall
We count the cost of those we lost
and pray it's not in vain
The bitter tears of all those years
I hope we live to see those days again

Now we're riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen
You'll never hear us sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green

And I remember a friend of mine,
so sad now that he's gone
They tell me I'll forget
as time goes on

We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back,
back to the wild frontier (can you hear it callin'?)
Back to the wild frontier (can you hear it callin', callin?),
back to the wild frontier

Those forty shades of green are calling me back home

Ooh, we're goin' back,
back to the wild frontier
I'm goin' back,
back to the wild frontier
