lyrics

Take my hand, as we walk through the firestorm
In this maelstrom of death, a young soldier’s breath chokes away
Faithful, as he watches the towers fall
Dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori

Once men and kings fought and died side-by- side
Their destinies ruled by the swords in their hands

A king, a song, a fire long gone
Cowards take flight; watch as their kingdoms burn
Forsaking their oaths, taken by promises of power and gold
By a tyrant’s command, they march and they fall  

Monuments burn down to ashes and rust
Dreams left in ruins, our hopes turn to dust

Dying men cry to Heaven
Fire swallows the sun
Leave the dead as vultures circle
Soon the order will come, to

March! March! March!
Bow your head and...

March! March! March!
Leave the dead and...

March; the doomed have no choice
But to carry the burden of history
Lost; the dead have no voice
Only ruins left burning as the…

Night comes down
Heavy the hammer that shatters the crown

Dying men cry to Heaven
Fire swallows the sun
Leave the dead as vultures circle
Soon the order will come

How can faith but falter
‘Neath machines in the sky?
Shadows of men, now wait in silence
For the order to die

Solo (van Heerden)
Solo (Schoemann)

Where angels fear to tread, we...

March! March! March!
Bow your head and...

March! March! March!
Leave the dead and...

March! March! March!
Bow your head and...

March! March! March!
Leave the dead and...

March!
