Each Man

We stood upon the farthest shore

With the honesty of youth

Here we have our blood

And toil as we dare to speak the truth

In the core of good old albion

Where the masters made their rules

Here we fear a devils tune to dance

That you could fool us

We spoke the grace of unity

And six of us stood strong

A kinship and a company in the face

Of fought she'd wrong

For where could there be suffering

In a fair and decent wage

When a force stands up

By his word in a passion of that age

Each man will stand his ground

Each man will rise

Each man will stand his ground

Each man will rise

All our fears came tumbling

When they sent us to be tried

Down upon the southern sea to a dark

And desperate life

Yet all the months and years

I served I drank for england's heart

For in this wicked servitude

I wish to play my part

Each man will stand his ground

Each man will rise

Each man will stand his ground

Each man will rise

My body shall not have it's sleep when

I crave to finally lie

With the bells caught off for faithful

In this church while I reply

It's cool the journey summons

Us no more to be abreast

A voice to find his union

A place to find his rest

Each man will stand his ground

Each man will rise

Each man will stand his ground

Each man will rise
