Heroes From Our Past
(album: Sing Loud, Sing Proud!)
And so the story´s told of a hearty group of men it´s a tale of their triumphs and their woes.
Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker´s struggle
that inspires men to stand up for their rights.
And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world
we can look back to these heroes of our past.
With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will,
no tyranny would quell them in their task.
It´s an age-old situation with an ever-present message:
that time and tide waiteth for no man.
So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome,
it´s for freedom and for happiness they toiled.
An in looking to the future,
we can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all.
It´s been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest.
It´s just remembrance of their dignity we ask.
