Waterbury's Past Glory

Old Brass City with massive gothic chuches, abandoned rail-roads and run-down factories... we still glimpse into that bygone glory which made your name so famous! O Waterbury, no Christmas can be compared to yours, when Main Street glitters under the fluffy snow and everyone hummers a carol! O Waterbury, those starry nights are too surreal and make lovers fantasize! Old Brass City,in ninenteen-forty-two lads and gals were sent to war to fight the Cruel, and mothers cried as their sons and daughters left this once-happy-town of friendly and kind folks! And despite all the sorrow and pain yet to be, they proudly marched off to defeat the enemy! O Waterbury, your monuments inspire hope, and remind all of your past glory and leadership; and the brave soldiers who sacrificed all... became those heroes we've engraved into the soul! Some returned, many died to seal their fate, and their courage and valour put an end to all hate!
