Over deze songtekst:
Het lied gaat over de Falkland oorlog. Inzet waren de Falklandeilanden die ten zuidwesten van Argentinië liggen. De eilanden zijn in bezit van Engeland. Op 2 april 1982 bezette het Argentijnse leger de eilanden. De verwachting was dat Engeland toch niet zou reageren. Dat was echter een misrekening. De toenmalige premier Margaret Thatcher (The Iron Maiden) stuurde een special task force en heroverde de Falklandeilanden. De oorlog kostte 649 Argentijnen en 258 Britten het leven.
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, "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 air force 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 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 Whoa! 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
