We buried our sons We turned and fled No growing old The glorious dead But we came back
Because oneâ manâ said Now on theâ beaches The blood runs red
I faced themâ down The only one I stood alone And warned the day would come But they were wrong Appeases every one And not for the last time We all stand alone
I watch the sun move away As I embrace the night And my black dog has itŽs day For six long yДars you shall not pass Barbarians at the gates
We will ovДrcome
Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour The darkest hour
To blaze in glory like a dying sun One last burning giant Tell Jupiter moves on Turn the ploughshares into swords You sons of Albion awake Defend this sacred land
Here I stand
In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour
The darkest hour
Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour
Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings
You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour Before the dawn the darkest hour
