Condemned 84

Land of Hope and Glory

Condemned 84


They came from across the sea, many years ago in A.D. 
You can read all the legends from times gone by 
How invaders were kept out with the same warcry 

They tried to lay one of their roads 
To pave their way to their new homes 
But maybe they could've built Rome in a day 
They couldn't take this land of ours away 

This is our land of hope and glory 
This is our land, you can't take it away from us 
This is our land of hope and glory 
And we will never let it go 

History always seems to repeat itself 
The aggressor trying to take another country's wealth 
The poor fight hard to save their land 
But the grains taken away and put in another's hands 

They take from the poor the old and the weak 
And watch the wealthy run to hide in their keep 
Never gave away nothing never gave nothing back 
But never did this country's backbone ever crack 

We'll fight in the future like our fathers in the past 
We'll carry the battle to the invaders and make difficult their task 
They're raping and plundering the villages on the shore 
Burning homelands, stealing from the poor 
The people are beaten, the prisoners are slaves 
Worked to their deaths, filling empty graves
