Land Of Hope And Glory

They came from across the sea, many years ago in A.D.

You can read all the legends from times gone by

How invaders were kept out with the same warcry

They tried to lay one of their roads

To pave their way to their new homes

But maybe they could've built Rome in a day

They couldn't take this land of ours away

This is our land of hope and glory

This is our land, you can't take it away from us

This is our land of hope and glory

And we will never let it go

History always seems to repeat itself

The aggressor trying to take another country's wealth

The poor fight hard to save their land

But the grains taken away and put in another's hands

They take from the poor the old and the weak

And watch the wealthy run to hide in their keep

Never gave away nothing never gave nothing back

But never did this country's backbone ever crack

We'll fight in the future like our fathers in the past

We'll carry the battle to the invaders and make difficult their task

They're raping and plundering the villages on the shore

Burning homelands, stealing from the poor

The people are beaten, the prisoners are slaves

Worked to their deaths, filling empty graves
