Here`s a little diddy from a band called Marrilion. Seems someone is a little pissed off at the Brits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Armalite, street fights, nightsights
Searching the roofs for a sniper, viper, fighter
Death in the shadows, he`ll maim you, wound you, kill you
for a long forgotten cause, on not so foreign shores,
boys baptised in wars.

Morphine, chill scream, bad dream
Serving as numbers on dogtags, flakrags, sandbags
Your girl has married your bestfriend, loves end, poison pen
Your flesh will always creep, tossing, turning sleep
The wounds that burn so deep.

Your mother sits at the edge of the world when the cameras
start to roll
Panoramic viewpoints ressurect the killing fold
Your father drains another beer, he`s one of the few that cares
Crawling behind saracen`s hull from the safety of his living room chair

Forgotten sons


And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolor
I must fear evil for I am but mortal and mortals can only die
Asking questions, pleading answers, from the nameless,
faceless watchers that stalk the corridors of Whitehall

Who order desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation in their
guarded bureaucratic wombs.

Minister, minister care for your children, order them not
into damnation to eliminate those that would trespass against you
for whose is the kingdom, the power, the glory for ever and ever
Amen-----------Halt! who goes there? Death, approach friend.

You`re just another coffin on it`s way down the emerald aisle
Where the childrens stony glances mourn your death in a terrorists smile
The bomber`s arm places fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves,
Alleys sing with shrapnel detonate a temporary hell.

Forgotten sons

From the dolequeue to the Regiment a profession in a flash
but remember Mondays signings when from door to door you dash.
On the news a nation mourns you unknown soldier
count the cost
For a second you`ll be famous but labeld posthumous

Forgotten sons

I don't know the name of the song, but it was real popular in Northern Ireland.

The first clue is "Armalite." Seems the Irish like that term a lot. I think it refers to the AR18/180 more than the AR15/M16.
