When Offa spilled Myrging blood we were proud |
|
When Hengest routed the wealas we were proud |
|
When Penda withstood the cross we were proud |
|
When Alfred stayed the Danes we were proud |
|
Heroes passed unto ye we give hail |
|
Mighty men without fear, without shame |
|
Some will say that our pride is a sin |
|
But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud |
|
When victory was won at Brunanburh we were proud |
|
When Byrhtnoth raised his sword we were proud |
|
When Harold destroyed Hardrada we were proud |
|
When Hereward defied the bastard we were proud |
|
Heroes passed unto ye we give hail |
|
Mighty men without fear, without shame |
|
Some will say that our pride is a sin |
|
But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud |
|
Slowly with time the past slips away |
|
But deep in our souls their memory stays |
|
Weapons of guilt won't conquer our minds |
|
Just strengthen our will to defy |
|
The ignorant void ever opening wide |
|
But we keep their names and spirits alive |
|
Arrows of fear won't pierce our minds |
|
Just strengthen our will to defy |
|
Heroes passed unto ye we give hail |
|
Mighty men without fear, without shame |
|
Some will say that our pride is a sin |
|
But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud |
