Sent to the Islands to secure what is ours
Marching ashore in the cover of night
Hide until dawn and attack in the twilight
Shake them awake with the thunder of guns...
Orders from the Iron Maiden(1): – Get the Islands back ! –
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike, launch attack..
We are Back in control
Force them to surrender
Take what is ours
restore law and order
Back in control
Push them further out to sea
Falklands in our hands
Back under British reign
Push them back further and out from the Islands
Into our fleet that will stop their retreat
Mark their positions and call in the airforce
Harriers and Vulcans strikes at our command
Orders from the Iron Maiden: – Get the Islands back ! –
Failure will not be accepted, call for artillery strike.. launch attack..
We are Back in control
Force them to surrender
Take what is ours
restore law and order
Back in control
Push them further out to sea
Falklands in our hands
Back under British reign
We are Back in control...

We are Back in control...
