Lyrics
you love this place
like a mother loves her child
it's sewn onto the fabric of your heart
passed for generations down the line
a place you've always called your own
but its veins are running darker
than the night
and the bloodhounds
are baying at the gate
all the years of sweat and tears
are no defence
and all your dreams are torn apart
at the seams
but this land is yours to hold
up to heaven, down to hell
and it's not quite the castle anymore
but we'll fight you all the same
brave hearts carrying the flame
and in between
we'll put the bread on your table
as you turn the other cheek
try to sell us up the creek
no more!
the gaping hole
they've ripped across your home
every cut another wound that never heals
the gold that used to shimmer
across the plains
now lining pockets of the callous and vain
and their veins are running darker
than the night
and their bloodhounds
are breaking down our gates
but all the years of sweat and tears
are our defence
we are the keepers of the dreams
and of the earth
and this land is ours to hold
up to heaven, down to hell
and it's not quite the castle anymore
but we'll fight you all the same
brave hearts carrying the flame
and in between
we'll put the bread on your table
as you turn the other cheek
try to sell us up the creek
no more!
