The sun on the meadow is summery
warm and
The stag in the forest runs free
But gathered together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me, Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch on the linden is
leafy and green and
The Rhine gives it’s gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me, Tomorrow belongs to me
The babe in his cradle is
closing his eyes and
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon says the whisper, arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs to me, Tomorrow belongs to me
Now Fatherland, Fatherland, show
us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs to me, Tomorrow belongs to me
I see a phoenix arising
Like a phoenix from the ashes raised
Sweeping evil before him
Marching on towards better days
Marching to the cities, marching
Marching to the towns, marching
With your banners before you, marching
Spread what you say, and spread it all around now
Rising, phoenix rising
There’s a job to be
done now
Don’t back down from the coming fight
We’re gonna lighten our load now
And drag us back from the endless night
Marching to the cities, marching
Marching to the towns, marching
With your banners before you, marching
Spread what you say, and spread it all around now
Rising, phoenix rising
Marching to the cities, marching
Marching to the towns, marching
With your banners before you, marching
Spread what you say, and spread it all around now
Rising, phoenix rising
Now many flags are unfurling
And standing up to the tyranny
Men and women with a common bond
Tell each other “You can lean on me now”
You’re gone with the
breeze, just like the leaves on the trees
Gone are the times, with your family, with your family
You left life behind, you knew they had your death warrant signed
But there was no way, that you would compromise, no compromise
You’re gone with the
breeze, but you’ll always be there on our minds
You’re gone with the breeze, just a memory of those
times
You’re gone with the breeze, yeah you left a lotta
people that loved you
You’re gone with the breeze, but we’ll remember
you
You stood against lies, and you
would never hide
You stood face-to-face, with the enemy, with the enemy
Against all the odds, danger’s path you trod
You knew it could only end in tragedy, yeah, in tragedy
You’re gone with
the breeze, but you’ll always be there on our minds
You’re gone with the breeze, just a memory of those
times
You’re gone with the breeze, yeah you left a lotta
people that loved you
You’re gone with the breeze, but we’ll remember
you
You’re gone with the breeze, but you’ll
always be there on our minds
You’re gone with the breeze, just a memory of those
times
You’re gone with the breeze, yeah you left a lotta
people that loved you
You’re gone with the breeze, but we’ll remember
you
All ended in devastation, for a
man who loved his nation
Another warrior they took away, yeah, they took him away
But in our hearts, he did not die, forever more his flag will fly
One day the land will stand in his memory, Robert Matthews
You’re gone with the
breeze, but you’ll always be there on our minds
You’re gone with the breeze, just a memory of those
times
You’re gone with the breeze, yeah you left a lotta
people that loved you
You’re gone with the breeze, but we’ll remember
you
You’ve gone with
the breeze, but we’ll remember you
Yeah, you’ve gone with the breeze, but we’ll
remember you
You’ve gone with the breeze, but we’ll remember
you
This is a warning, against a red
day a’dawning
With communists trying, to get into our head
Take over the Media, with Marx they force feed ya
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
They encourage such mixing, to
us it is sickening
And they say, for the Third World, we must provide bread
Just for one occasion, let’s think of our own nations
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight
the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
We’ll fight in the
cities, we’ll fight in the country
And we’ll fight, the Red peril, our pride we’ll
not shed
For the strength of White nations, will be our salvation
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight
the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
I feel a peace as I walk the
leafy lanes
Look out over them hills, boy it looks like rain
See the distant mountains, with the storm clouds high above
This is my land, my country, and the place I love
We ain’t gonna like it
if they take our land away
Looks like history repeating itself again
We ain’t gonna like it if they take our land away
If they steal our heritage, somebody’s gonna pay
My father worked this land as
his father did before
And they’d turn in their graves, if they knew what was
in store
Someone came from some big city, and tried to buy our farm
Threw our life’s work out to rot, they’ve done
a lot of harm
We ain’t gonna like it
if they take our land away
Looks like history repeating itself again
We ain’t gonna like it if they take our land away
If they steal our heritage, somebody’s gonna pay
We ain’t gonna like it
if they take our land away
Looks like history repeating itself again
We ain’t gonna like it if they take our land away
If they steal our heritage, somebody’s gonna pay
The pride in our community, the
media’d love to kill
They hate to see our unity, intact against their will
Tried to take our livelihood, tried to take our guns
If we left ’em take our pride, then surely
they’ll have won
We ain’t gonna like it
if they take our land away
Looks like history repeating itself again
We ain’t gonna like it if they take our land away
If they steal our heritage, somebody’s gonna pay
We ain’t gonna like
it if they take our land away
Looks like history repeating itself again
We ain’t gonna like it if they take our land away
If they steal our heritage, somebody’s gonna pay
The storm clouds are gathering,
the Liberals are bleating
The vultures are looking down on the land of South Africa
The traitors are crowing, ‘cos they see the Whites
falling
They lie in their papers, about apartheid’s evil ways
Stand by your own,
that’s the best way
Stand by your own, from the ruins it came
Stand by your own, the only sane cry
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
False prophets are moaning, and
the bankers are groaning
As the leaders of the weak White west prepare to sell-out the
white man again
We sit here in Europe, and wonder what the future holds
The murdering ANC, walk free around our countries
Stand by your own,
that’s the best way
Stand by your own, from the ruins it came
Stand by your own, the only sane cry
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
Stand by your own,
that’s the best way
Stand by your own, from the ruins it came
Stand by your own, the only sane cry
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
As we look to the future, and
hope that our kin survive
All we can do now, is pray for them all
Stand by your own,
that’s the best way
Stand by your own, from the ruins it came
Stand by your own, the only sane cry
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
Stand by your own, Red
Terror will die
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
Well, how do you do young Willie
McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your grave side?
And rest for awhile in the warm summer sun
I’ve been walking all day, and I’m nearly done
I see by your gravestone, you
were only nineteen
When you joined the great call-up in 1916
And I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean
Or young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife loudly?
Did they play the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
Did you leave a wife or a
sweetheart behind?
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
Although you died back in 1916
In that faithful heart are you forever 19
Or are you a stranger without even a name?
Enclosed and forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph, battered and stained
And faded to yellow, in a brown leather frame
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife loudly?
Did they play the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
Well the sun, now it shines, on
the green fields of France
As the warm summer breeze, that makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There’s no gas, no barbwire, there’s no guns
firing now
But here in this graveyard that’s still
no-man’s land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation, that was butchered and damned
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife loudly?
Did they play the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
Young Willie McBride, I
can’t help wondering why
Do these that lie here know why that they died?
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end war?
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife loudly?
Did they play the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
A phone is on the table, just
along the hall
But due to lack of food and drink, you cannot move at all
The pension that they give you, can’t stock you up for
long
And in your heart, the anger grows, ‘cos you know that
they done you wrong
What about the wars that you
fought?
For the peace that you sought
But for you, my old man, just see what peace has brought
The peace has brought you nothing
The light around you darkens, as
you weaken every hour
And never in your long hard life, have you ever felt so sour
You’ve got to see a doctor, or you’re going to
fade away
You’ve got to see somebody, or you won’t last
another day
What about the wars that you
fought?
For the peace that you sought
But for you, my old man, just see what peace has brought
The peace has brought you nothing
What about the wars that you
fought?
For the peace that you sought
But for you, my old man, just see what peace has brought
The peace has brought you nothing
The pills they will not dullen,
the aching in your head
You try once more to reach the telephone, but you cannot leave
the bed
Then you fall back, the pain has gone, and you see your
life’s last sight
A bare stark wall, so very small, and you say your last goodnight
What about the wars that you
fought?
For the peace that you sought
But for you, my old man, just see what peace has brought
The peace has brought you nothing
We live in changing times
When certain thoughts are now a crime
Power flows through an evil pen
And freedom’s light in growing dim
One day if suddenly,
I’m forced to take my leave
Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe?
One day if suddenly, they take my life away
Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
The people who’ve stood
against us
They seem to be above the law
With the power to listen into private moments in our lives
And the power to come kick down your door
One day if suddenly,
I’m forced to take my leave
Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe?
One day if suddenly, they take my life away
Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
Our strength has come from
ideals
many years’ old
A strength that has survived within our blood
A strength our foe has recognized, and sworn to drag it down
He wants to drag our people through the mud
One day if suddenly,
I’m forced to take my leave
Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe?
One day if suddenly, they take my life away
Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
Everybody gets the, gets the blues some time
Everybody gets the, gets the blues some time
And the government listens to everybody’s,
‘cept mine
If you belong to a minority,
well then that’s alright
If you belong to a minority, well then that’s alright
But if you’re just a simple British person
You’ll have to stand and fight, for what’s
right
And no one ever asked us,
exactly what we think
No one ever asked us, exactly what we think
As far as the powers are concerned
They’ve let the country sink
Well I just hope we
don’t lose, things that once were ours
Yeah I just hope we don’t lose, things that once were
ours
I think we better stand up, and rock ’em in their ivory
towers
Yeah I think we better stand up, and rock ’em in their
ivory towers
I said I think we better stand up, and rock ’em in their
ivory towers…
However hard you may think you
are something comes along that’ll touch you
It may be the death of somebody close, but any way it’ll
find you
Everybody
Everywhere
Everybody
Needs, something to believe in
However high your barriers are
Something will arrive that will climb them
For no one can survive while standing all alone
We all need somebody, to help us carry on
Everybody
Everywhere
Everybody
Needs, something to believe in
Everybody
Everywhere
Everybody
Needs, something to believe in
They say a problem shared is a
problem halved
And as time passes by it will prove it
We all need somebody to lend a helping hand
And when the chance arrives just grab it
Everybody
Everywhere
Everybody
Needs, something to believe in
verybody
Everywhere
Everybody
Needs, something to believe in
He sat in a room, in a square
the colour of blood
He’d rule the whole world, if there was a way that he
could
He’d sit and he’d stare at the minarets on top
of the towers
For he was the beast, as he hatched his new plans to gain power
As the snow fell, covering the
dreams and ideals
and the snow fell, freezing the blood and the wheels
and the snow fell, they had to keep warm for survival
and the snow fell, and defeated the beast’s only rivals
They took the old roads, that
Napoleon had taken before
They fought as the forces of light against the darkness in a holy
war
One day they were looking out in the sunshine on the cornflowers
The next day they were freezing to death in the sleet and the ice
cold showers
As the snow fell, covering the
dreams and ideals
and the snow fell, freezing the blood and the wheels
and the snow fell, they had to keep warm for survival
and the snow fell, and defeated the beast’s only rivals
Then came the deadly road back
on the steppes of their retreat
The cold racked their bodies, but worse was the pain of defeat
And many people who had hailed them once now turned and looked
away
These people now knew that the beast was on its way
As the snow fell, covering the
dreams and ideals
and the snow fell, freezing the blood and the wheels
and the snow fell, they had to keep warm for survival
and the snow fell, and defeated the beast’s only rivals
You finally came back to the
borders of your Fatherland
Now enemies came, traitors everywhere at hand
Many people had fought and died, knowing that they had to win
Still it sickens my heart to see the picture of the Red flag in
Berlin
As the snow fell, covering the
dreams and ideals
and the snow fell, freezing the blood and the wheels
and the snow fell, they had to keep warm for survival
and the snow fell, and defeated the beast’s only rivals
