Medieval

Medieval is track five on the 1988 James album Strip-Mine.

It was surprisingly brought back into the setlist in 2011 for the orchestra tour after an absence of twenty years and continued to be included through 2012 and 2013 on a regular basis.

Caught in the long grass, got separated from his company
Those men he thought were friends turned out to be the enemy
Their uniforms were black not brown, they marched to a different step
But he soon tuned in to their frequency
By shifting up one fret
But the one thing that united them
Was they all had life to give
But it wasn't their intention to serve that way, but to kill so they may live
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound

Set them marching, stop them thinking
Psyche them up with your will
Stir them up with frantic rhythm
Send them out to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, caught upon the barbed wire
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, crucified upon the pulpit wire
The wire
We are sound
We are sound
We are sound
