Before God - Last Line of Defense lyrics

Last line of defense Grandfather, gandfather tell me the stories Of your great grandfathers heroics and glory Tell me the tales and, I'll never forget Their hardships, their struggles, I'll follow in their steps The story begins many years ago Across the oceans in a place we call home Our peaceful land was invaded from the south Hordes of m**ms tried to drive us out In this war many brave men died Villages burned as the children cried The defenders of vienna were put to the test They were the last line in defense Trenches and barbed wire was all to be seen It was baptism of fire in 1916 Explosions ripped craters in the ground His unit was pounded round after round With his bayonet fixed to his gun He couldn't remeber the last time he'd seen the sun On the somme, vwerdun he'd seen so much d**h Now he was the last line of defense The beauty, the grandeur, was a sight to be seen A nation reborn, rebuilt from the old The heart of the nation was beating so strong Yet we knew of the dangers, and it wouldn't be long We fought in the south, the west, east and the north Against the whole world we would set forth To protect an ideal and a culture so true We were the last line in defense We fought in the south, the west, east and the north Against the whole world we would set forth To protect an ideal and a culture so true We were the last line in defense
