Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve |
|
A nation that stands alone |
|
Cold voices, faces pale |
|
Gathered unto their judgement day |
|
Such pride remains unbroken |
|
Such words remain unspoken |
|
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry |
|
Tears and medals in the rain |
|
Shall I recall when justice did prevail? |
|
No reason to be found why reason did fail |
|
The all clear resounding |
|
The way was clear to rebuild this land |
|
Shall I call on you to guide me well |
|
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? |
|
On this day of our ascension |
|
Stand your ground, this is what we are fighting for |
|
For our spirit and laws and ways |
|
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war |
|
For heaven or hell we shall not wait |
|
Shall I think of honour as lies |
|
Or lament its aged and slow demise? |
|
Shall I stand as a total stranger |
|
On this day in this stone chamber? |
|
The all clear resounding |
|
The way was clear to rebuild this land |
|
Shall I call on you to guide me well |
|
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled |
|
On this day of our ascension |
|
On this day we praise the fallen |
|
Stand your ground, this is what we are fighting for |
|
For our spirit and laws and ways |
|
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war |
|
For heaven or hell we shall not wait |
|
Shall I think of honour as lies |
|
Or lament its aged and slow demise? |
|
Shall I stand as a total stranger |
|
On this day in this stone chamber? |
|
Stand your ground, this is what we are fighting for. |
|
For our spirit and laws and ways. |
|
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. |
|
For heaven or hell we shall not wait. |
|
Shall I think of honour as lies |
|
Or lament its aged and slow demise? |
|
Shall I stand as a total stranger |
|
On this day in this stone chamber? |
|
Stand your ground, this is what we are fighting for |
|
For our spirit and laws and ways |
|
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war |
|
For heaven or hell we shall not wait |
|
Shall I think of honour as lies |
|
Or lament its aged and slow demise? |
|
Shall I stand as a total stranger |
|
On this day in this stone chamber? |
