It's been a long time Since we left for war The days have all rolled into one We said, stand and fight! ͛ The hangman he beckons to me The city lights calling The noise of the mob Let's all tell tales and sing Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny Great waves break upon our homeland We will end this night, as brothers And fight, no others Great chains wrapped around my homeland Then we must fight, For honour Men die, up yonder It's been a long while Since we left these shores But we must take our leave this night We said, stand and fight! The hangman he beckons to me The city lights calling The noise of the mob Take up our swords and take flight Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny Great waves break upon our homeland We will end this night, as brothers And fight, no others Great chains wrapped around my homeland Then we must fight, for honour Tell of the glories to be The bright lights are forever blinding They will dim but forever guiding We set sail and return to our home We said, stand and fight! The hangman he beckons to me Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny We said, stand and fight! The hangman he beckons to me Bright lights, be my guide! Guide me to my destiny
