Oh we people of constant sorrow
we stand alone and face it all
and the legions of the rotten
gather forces to make us fall
Through dead of night
we lay in bags of ice
and shiver as they try
to make us pay their price
The daily assaults
grow ever deadly
and many of us have fallen
to this corrupted medley
They marched all this way
to poison the land
our sacred home which
they stole with deceitful hand
For weeks we held the line
all alone on the field
ever outnumbered
yet we refuse to yield
And as the dangers grow
evil tries to force us home
all the while forgetting we
stand on lands we used to roam
The more they hurt us
the more they lose
and now joined are we
by those who sport a similar bruise
Oh we soldiers of sorrow
we stand with you
for better than most we
know this fight is nothing new
Thanks for reading!
