Lyrics
0:31News that came that morning told that the main force had been slain
0:35Chance for peace and justice gone and all talks had been in vain
0:38A prince had been offended and he has gone the path of war
0:42Now that 1500 men are dead and the Zulu's at the door
0:46Zulus attack
0:48Fight back to back
0:50Show them no mercy and
0:51Fire at will
0:53Kill or be killed
0:55Facing awaiting
0:57A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near
1:03There's no surrender
1:04The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled
1:12Later on that fateful day as they head towards the drift
1:15Stacking boxes fortify preparations must be swift
1:19Spears and shields of oxen hide facing uniforms and guns
1:23As the rifles fire echoes higher beating like the sound of drums
1:26Zulus attack
1:28Fight back to back
1:30Show them no mercy and
1:32Fire at will
1:34Kill or be killed
1:36Facing awaiting
1:37A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near
1:43There's no surrender
1:45The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled
1:531879 when a few held the line
1:57Back to back attack the dead are stacked
2:00Where a last stand was made and the empire saved
2:04Back to back attack the dead are stacked
2:37Zulus attack
2:38Fight back to back
2:40Show them no mercy and
2:42Fire at will
2:44Kill or be killed
2:46Facing awaiting
2:48A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near
2:53There's no surrender
2:55The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled
3:02A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near
3:08There's no surrender
3:10The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled
News that came that morning told that the main force had been slain Chance for peace and justice gone and all talks had been in vain A prince had been offended and he has gone the path of war Now that 1500 men are dead and the Zulu's at the door Zulus attack Fight back to back Show them no mercy and Fire at will Kill or be killed Facing awaiting A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near There's no surrender The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled Later on that fateful day as they head towards the drift Stacking boxes fortify preparations must be swift Spears and shields of oxen hide facing uniforms and guns As the rifles fire echoes higher beating like the sound of drums Zulus attack Fight back to back Show them no mercy and Fire at will Kill or be killed Facing awaiting A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near There's no surrender The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled 1879 when a few held the line Back to back attack the dead are stacked Where a last stand was made and the empire saved Back to back attack the dead are stacked Zulus attack Fight back to back Show them no mercy and Fire at will Kill or be killed Facing awaiting A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near There's no surrender The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled A hostile spear a new frontier the end is near There's no surrender The lines must hold their story told rorke's drift controlled
