I stand and fight alone

Along the seashore I make my fort

Here they come bearing arms

Carrying this gun has made my arms sore

They come at night

With their rifles in hand

They come to fight

And take my land

I will not surrender to this war machine

I will fight against the odds for what it seems

My pride and crown will not be worn

By no other man but me

I hear the sounds of the ocean

I hear the sounds of the waves

I hear the sounds of a million men

I hear the bells say

“Together in arms”

“Together we fall”

“Together in arms”

“Together we fall”

Here comes the sun king

Or that’s what he calls himself

He brings with them an army

God, we need your help

My sails have broke

The wind is down

My men are tired

And it seems we’ve the lost crown

But still we fight this machine

Against the odds for what it seems

My pride and crown will not be worn

By no other man by me

I hear the sounds of guns going off

I hear the sounds of the sea

I hear the sounds of blood spurring on the ground

I hear the sounds of my men dying

And still today

You can hear them say

“Together in arms”

“Together we fall”

“Together in arms”

“Together we fall”

And no other like us

There will be no other army like us

For we fought in arms together

Fell in arms together

Died in arms together

Lost the crown together
