Carpe Diem

Bob Catley


We fly the flag of freedom, we swore to crush all tyranny 
They speak their words of treason, we silence all such villainy 
History shall honour, we the brave 
Born to fight as heroes not be slaves, we do or die 
Destiny, take not these words in vein 
Men will curse they were not here this day to testify 

Sunrise! Sunrise! 
Clawing back its timeless reach 
Scores the black horizon, sleepless sunrise 
Paws the light in skyward breach 
Cuts the night in silence, seize the day 

The dawning sunlight carries a ray of hope to every man 
Across the fields and valleys to where a hundred thousand stand 
Crispin's day will live forever more 
Brave were those who fell at Agincourt, the dearly loved 
This shall be remembered as the place 
Few defeated many by the grace of god above 

Sunrise! Sunrise! 
Clawing back its timeless reach 
Scores the black horizon, sleepless sunrise 
Paws the light in skyward breach 
Cuts the night in silence, seize the day 

Sunrise! Sunrise! 
Clawing back its timeless reach 
Scores the black horizon, sleepless sunrise 
Paws the light in skyward breach 
Cuts the night in silence, seize the day 

Destiny, take not these words in vein 
Men will curse they were not here this day to testify 
No! No! - Oh, no! 
This fight, this day unceasing 
This light forever, seize the day 
This battle, this unending feeling 
This spirit of the moment leads the way 
This fight, this day unceasing 
This light forever, seize the day 
This battle, this unending feeling 
This spirit of the moment leads the way 

Sunrise! 
(This fight, this day unceasing) 
Sunrise! 
(This light forever, seize the day) 
Clawing back its timeless reach 
(This battle, this unending feeling) 
Scores the black horizon 
(This spirit of the moment leads the way) 
Sleepless sunrise! 
(This fight, this day unceasing) 
(This light forever, seize the day) 
Paws the light in skyward breach 
(This battle, this unending feeling) 
Cuts the night in silence, seize the day 
(This spirit of the moment leads the way) 
Sunrise! 
(This fight, this day unceasing) 
Sunrise! 
(This light forever, seize the day) 
Clawing back its timeless reach 
(This battle, this unending feeling) 
Scores the black horizon 
(This spirit of the moment leads the way) 
Sleepless sunrise! 
(This fight, this day unceasing) 
(This light forever, seize the day) 
Paws the light in skyward breach 
(This battle, this unending feeling) 
Cuts the night in silence, seize the day 
(This spirit of the moment leads the way) 
Sunrise! 
(This fight, this day unceasing) 
Sunrise! 
(This light forever, seize the day) 
Clawing back its timeless reach 
(This battle, this unending feeling) 
Scores the black horizon 
(This spirit of the moment leads the way) 
Sleepless sunrise! 
(This fight, this day unceasing) 
(This light forever, seize the day) 
Paws the light in skyward breach 
(This battle, this unending feeling) 
Cuts the night in silence, seize the day 
(This spirit of the moment leads the way)
