They rode into our homeland to claim it as their own
They took my wife and family and drove me from my home
But my kin and I have gathered up our forces
We've sharpened up our swords and saddled up our horses
Chorus
So raise your glasses high today and drink a toast in sorrow
To all the men who died today and the ones who'll die tomorrow
There's not one man among us whose sacrifice is greater than theirs.
The enemy won't understand why we won't let him in
Pursuing him in battles they say we cannot win
But our brothers stand beside us when we need them
And we'll die to a man defending all our freedom.
Chorus
Today I buried two brave kin and many more I knew
And what was once our army is now down to a few
But tomorrow we will ride again to meet them
And we'll all die in battle- or else we will defeat them!
Chorus
