Red Dawn Coming

A red dawn is coming our forces have been liberated This unreal evening one thousand voices rise in unison We're expecting swords to clash Yes, and we're expecting victory against all odds The fire which is lit within Keeps burning all through the night Our eyes need rest before we see the enemy Tomorrow will arrive and the blood red sun will rise over the city and the plains and with it struggle between our people and theirs The silence of night is over let the crows fly overhead we'll follow our king to victory If you wish peace then tomorrow can only bring you sorrow If you wish liberation from the ghosts of the past Then join us as we sing in unison A battle hymn long forgotten As the heartland cries out As the cities cry out We'll sing, dance and ready ourselves For whatever suffering the future brings to us One last defiant note Sampson was blind when he toppled the structure of the Philistines We see with two good eyes We shall work wonders!
