Lyrics

We fled for our lives on a winter's eve
Cold but unheeded, we left with speed
The roundheads they had come this night
Our gallant people ? but blood in sight

If we were to barter for our lives
We would wind up dead
This is the land where I was born and bred
Am I a coward to avoid being dead ?

These are the words of our forefathers
Long ago, in a time of fear
They say "what giveth returns time thee"
Now in this age, we will wait and see

Condemn what you will in this war of worlds
Shout if you want amid peaceful slurs
But how do you stop a charging bull
With horns of steel and a desire to cull ?
