Thro' the mists of yearsA
Thro' the lies of menB
Your bloody sweat and tearsC
Your desperate hopes and fearsA
Reach us once againB
-
Brothers who long agoD
For life's bitter sakeE
Toiled and suffered soD
Robbery insult blowD
Rope and sword and stakeE
-
Toiled and suffered tillF
It burst the brightening hopeG
Might and right and will and skillF
That scorned and does and willF
Sword and stake and ropeG
-
Wat and Jack and JohnH
Tyler Straw and BallI
Souls that faltered notJ
Hearts like white iron hotJ
Still we hear your callI
-
Yes your bell is rungK
Yes for now is timeL
Come hither every oneM
Brave ghosts whose day's not doneM
Avengers of old rimeL
-
Come and lead the wayN
Hushed implacableO
Suffering no delayN
Forgetting not that dayN
Dreadful hateful fellP
-
When the liar kingQ
The liar gentlemenR
Wrought that foulest thingQ
Robbing murderingQ
Men who'd trusted themL
-
Come and lead the wayN
Hushed implacableO
What shall stop us sayN
On that day our dayN
Not unloosened hellP
