Lyrics
1:01We buried our sons
1:04We turned and fled
1:08No growing old
1:11The glorious dead
1:15But we came back
1:18Because one man said
1:22Now on the beaches
1:25The blood runs red
1:30I faced them down
1:33The only one
1:37I stood alone
1:38And warned the day would come
1:44But they were wrong
1:47Appeases every one
1:51And not for the last time
1:54We all stand alone
1:58I watch the sun move away
2:04As I embrace the night
2:08And my black dog has it's day
2:13For six long years you shall not pass
2:19Barbarians at the gates
2:22We will overcome
2:28Here I stand
2:30In a serenade of glory
2:34Naked by the throne of kings
2:41You sowed the wind
2:43And now you reaped the whirlwind
2:48Before the dawn the darkest hour
2:56The darkest hour
3:04To blaze in glory like a dying sun
3:10One last burning giant
3:13Tell Jupiter moves on
3:19Turn the ploughshares into swords
3:23You sons of Albion awake
3:26Defend this sacred land
3:32Here I stand
3:34In a serenade of glory
3:38Naked by the throne of kings
3:44You sowed the wind
3:47And now you reaped the whirlwind
3:51Before the dawn the darkest hour
3:58The darkest hour
5:30Here I stand
5:31In a serenade of glory
5:36Naked by the throne of kings
5:42You sowed the wind
5:45And now you reaped the whirlwind
5:49Before the dawn the darkest hour
5:55Here I stand
5:56In a serenade of glory
5:58Naked by the throne of kings
6:03You sowed the wind
6:10And now you reaped the whirlwind
6:13Before the dawn the darkest hour
6:22Before the dawn the darkest hour
We buried our sons We turned and fled No growing old The glorious dead But we came back Because one man said Now on the beaches The blood runs red I faced them down The only one I stood alone And warned the day would come But they were wrong Appeases every one And not for the last time We all stand alone I watch the sun move away As I embrace the night And my black dog has it's day For six long years you shall not pass Barbarians at the gates We will overcome Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour The darkest hour To blaze in glory like a dying sun One last burning giant Tell Jupiter moves on Turn the ploughshares into swords You sons of Albion awake Defend this sacred land Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour The darkest hour Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour Here I stand In a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You sowed the wind And now you reaped the whirlwind Before the dawn the darkest hour Before the dawn the darkest hour
