Hold the line! Hold the line!
They came like thunder, hooves of steel,
A thousand strong to make us kneel.
No walls, no trench, no place to hide,
Just men in line, with fate defied!
Ohhh! Stand your ground, don’t break, don’t bow!
One thin red line against the foe!
Steel and fire, blood runs cold,
But we stand, we fight, we hold!
Not all battles are fought with swords,
Not all wars cry out in words.
There comes a day, there comes a time,
When you alone must hold your line!
Ohhh! Stand your ground, don’t break, don’t bow!
One thin red line against the foe!
Steel and fire, blood runs cold,
But we stand, we fight, we hold!
A man stands firm or he fades away,
A line is drawn – but will it stay?
Ohhh! Stand your ground, don’t break, don’t bow!
One thin red line against the foe!
Steel and fire, blood runs cold,
But we stand, we fight, we hold!
