Out In The Field -- Gary Moore

It doesn't matter  if you're wrong or if you're right.  It makes no difference if you're black or if you're white.  All men are equal  till the victory is won.
No colour or religion  ever stopped the bullet from a gun.  Out in the fields, the fighting has begun.  Out on the streets,  they're falling one by one.  Out from the skies,  a thousand more will
die each day.  Death is just a heartbeat away. 

It doesn't matter  if you're left or to the right. Don't try to hide behind the cause  for what you fight.  There'll be no prisoners taken  when the day is done.  No flag or uniform  ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.
Out in the fields,  the fighting has begun.  Out on the streets,
they're falling one by one.  Out from the skies, a thousand more will die each day. Death is just a heartbeat away.

There's no communication,  no one to take the blame.  The cries
of every nation  have fallen on deaf ears again.  Out in the fields. Out in the fields.  They are falling one by one.  Out in the fields.  No flag has ever stopped  the bullet from a gun.  Death is just a heartbeat away.  Out in the fields,  a heartbeat away.  Out in the fields.  Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields,  a heartbeat away.  Out in the fields. In the fields, the fighting has begun.  Out on the streets,  they're falling one by one.  Out from the skies,  a thousand more will die each day.  OUT!

  The Battle of San Romano is a set of three paintings by the Florentine painter Paolo Uccello depicting events that took place at the Battle of San Romano between Florentine and Sienese forces in 1432.  The paintings are in egg tempera on wooden panels, each over 3 metres long.  the panels were commissioned by a member of the Bartolini Salimbeni family in Florence sometime between 1435 and 1460. The paintings were much admired in the 15th century; Lorenzo de' Medici so coveted them that he purchased one and had the remaining two forcibly removed to the Palazzo Medici. They are now divided between three collections, the National Gallery, London, the Galleria degli Uffizi and the Musée du Louvre, Paris.      (wikipedia)
