The Pride Of Lions

And my father was a Lion
And he went across the sea
To take the message to our brothers
That one-day they would be free

We have no words to speak the memory
Of the good men that we lost
They never compromised our future
They never cared to count the cost

For one nation under heaven
And with tears in our eyes
We won't forget the Lions memory
For our world they fought and died.

And so they battled on the beaches
And they battled in the streets
They faced hell on earth in Europe
But their spirit never gave retreat

They never fought for King and country
They did not strive for glory vain
They died for us their un-born children
So that liberty would reign

For one nation under heaven
And with freedom burning bright
We must stand against all evil
We must fight and fight and fight

And so the Lions went to Asia
To the ‘Rising Sun's back yard
Fought in Burma and Malaysia
Hit the ‘Samurai' so hard

Though they were starved
And they were tortured
So severe was their test
Yet they still stood and fought like Lions
They gave Democracy their best

For one nation under heaven
And one people under God
For the dreams of our tomorrows
Paid in full with Lion's blood

What can we say of these our fathers
Or their stand that was so brave?
We must build a land that's fit for heroes
From the ‘Cradle To The Grave'

And so they battled in the factories
And they battled in the halls
Took the battle to the poll booth
To tear down poverty's bloody walls

For one nation under heaven
And with God upon our side
We can liberate the future
Give our children back their pride

And our God Himself a Lion
He died for you and He died for me
Took His battle to Mount Calvary
So our spirits could be free

What can we say of this our hero
Or the sacrifice He gave
He fought all hell's unholy armies
Defeated Satan and the grave

And now we are the ‘Pride of Lions'
And we are our father's sons
We'll keep a watch on your tomorrows
So you have no need of guns

For one nation under heaven
And a people truly free
We salute the Lion's Victory
The bravest men in history!

And so the Lions went to Helmand!
