(1994)
Album: Rock Art

[1985]
Album "On a Storyteller's Night"

"Originally called 'Cannon', this Tony Clarkin composition is about one of the horrors of war. In World War I, a surprising - some would say disgraceful - number of British soldiers were executed by firing squad for cowardice. Many of these men were in fact suffering from shell shock."
from Songfacts

[1988]
Album "Wings of Heaven"

"This is as passionate an anti-war song as any heavy metal band ever recorded; rich in imagery it captures the jingoistic madness that accompanied the outbreak of World War One, which was known as The Great War until the outbreak of the second world conflict.
'There's a firework show tonight, everyone's been invited, we'll be finished by Christmas', young men talking of great times, while as dark clouds gather on the Maginot Line, barely heard voices of reason are whispering 'Don't wake the lion'."
