Platoon - Here Lies A Soldier

In dungeon deep, I know what fate awaits me
Tied hand and foot, the foe has bound me fast
And in my pain, I pray my God above me
Will grant this wish I know will be my last
Don't bury me in Erin's fenian valley
Take me home to Ulster let me rest
And on my gravestone carve a simple message
Here lies a soldier of the UVF
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier
Who fought and died for all he loved the best
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier
Here lies a soldier of the UVF
So gently drape the red hand round my shoulders
Pin no heroes medals on my chest
But if they ask you, will you kindly tell them
Here lies a soldier of the UVF
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier
Who fought and died for all he loved the best
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier
Here lies a soldier of the UVF
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier
Who fought and died for all he loved the best
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier
Here lies a soldier of the UVF

Who is this singing?

[@RangersandLoyalistMediaLibrary]

I'm pretty sure the song is from an album called No greater honour, by Platoon. But I can't for the life of me remember the name of the lad singing, sorry.
