Pink Floyd - When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 2 - Текст песни

And kind old King George sent Mother a note
When he heard that Father was gone
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll
With gold leaf and all
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
It was dark all around, there was frost in the ground
When the Tigers broke free
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C
They were all left behind
Most of them dead, the rest of them dying
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me
