The Kingdom of the Cross

The Kingdom of the Cross
2015
Battering Ram

There is also the album's closing cut, haunting, gripping, melancholic tale of the First World War, "The Kingdom Of The Cross", where a poem unfurls the feelings and horrors which comprised this most brutal of global conflicts. "This year is the centenary of the end of the First World War. Nigel had a piece of music which he played on a synthesizer for a couple of years that I really liked. We had an actor (and singer), David Bower from the band HELL, read the poem and I sang the choruses. I didn't want it to be typical SAXON, so it is just keyboards, bass, me and Dave."
What is this place across the field

Blood for Poppies

Blood for Poppies
Album: "Not Your Kind of People" (2012)

L'ispirazione per questa canzone mi è venuta da un articolo che ho letto sul Los Angeles Time sul commercio dell'oppio e dal documentario Restrepo - Inferno in Afghanistan. È una canzone sul disorientamento, la delusione e sulla lotta per cercare di rimanere sani di mente di fronte alla pazzia.

Field Of Poppies

Field Of Poppies
[2007]
Album: "Wars Will Cease...When We Refuse To Fight Them"
Lyrics by Dave Gwyther
Music by Dave Gwyther & Sturt Wills

On one Christmas day during World War 1 both sides put down their guns and met in No-Mans land. They shook hands and shared cigarettes and stories and played a game of football… The WW1 was a brutal bloody battle of dying empires that saw millions perish. And yet on one historic day two sides who had been locked in desperate fighting ceased their guns and met in no-mans land where they realised that they weren't German, or English, or anything like that. They realised that they were just men. All the same. And the war, and perhaps all wars could have ceased on that day with this monumental realisation, if the commanders had not ordered the men back into the trenches, threatening that if they did not go back to shooting each other, they would be shot themselves....

I lay in the poppies in the field of death

Dancing at Whitsun

Dancing at Whitsun
[1969]
Album "Anthems In Eden"
Parole di Austin John Marshall
Arrangiamento musicale di Shirley e Dolly Collins sul motivo tradizionale "The False Bride"

Per secoli la "Morris Dance", una danza di gruppo popolare inglese, fu eseguita nelle feste solo dagli uomini. Ma durante e subito dopo il primo conflitto mondiale, in molti villaggi rurali gli uomini erano quasi scomparsi, tutti ammazzati dalla guerra. Così furono le donne, le madri, le vedove, le fidanzate, le sorelle, le figlie di quei soldati a tenere in vita la tradizione.
"Whitsun" è la festa della Pentecoste.
It's fifty long springtimes since she was a bride,
