Forefather - Proud To Be Proud lyrics

When Offa spilled Myrging blood we were proud When Hengest routed the wealas we were proud When Penda withstood the cross we were proud When Alfred stayed the Danes we were proud Heroes pa**ed unto ye we give hail Mighty men without fear, without shame Some will say that our pride is a sin But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud When victory was won at Brunanburh we were proud When Byrhtnoth raised his sword we were proud When Harold destroyed Hardrada we were proud When Hereward defied the ba*tard we were proud Heroes pa**ed unto ye we give hail Mighty men without fear, without shame Some will say that our pride is a sin But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud Slowly with time the past slips away But deep in our souls their memory stays Weapons of guilt won't conquer our minds Just strengthen our will to defy The ignorant void ever opening wide But we keep their names and spirits alive Arrows of fear won't pierce our minds Just strengthen our will to defy Heroes pa**ed unto ye we give hail Mighty men without fear, without shame Some will say that our pride is a sin But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud
