Eternal Helcaraxe – Our Time In The Sun lyrics

Behold, the last stand of the righteous,
As sea of sword and spear comes crashing down upon us.
Our wall are falling down around us, we're over run,
But if I must travel to the afterlife it won't be alone.
There numbers increase with every strike, we're back to back,
And now they mass for there final attack.
Come on then, face me, try and end my life,
Let me show you how a true son of Ireland dies!
Stand your ground, the world will hear us,
That we had our time in the sun.
Hold your lines, deaths reach will soon embrace us,
It doesn't matter how you fall, it matters how you face it.
Will my tale be of how I stood against an unstoppable storm,
Like so many comrades left with eyes wide open in the search for home.
I'm grateful that I once knew love,
If only for a moment, I shared the beauty of this world.
My brighter times are safe inside my memories,
Although I won't leave this place, they've still taken nothing from me.
Will we be Martyr's, legends, our nation's sacrifice,
Will our names life on forever, in our peoples battle cry.
An ember in the ashes, that starts a flaming blaze,
To give them strength and courage, To stand with a warriors grace.
I look upon a hopeless battle, with frighten men, clutching to their
Life's,
Is this all our hero's are, desperate men, in desperate times.
Remember us, we fought proud, until our strength would last us,
But soon the sun will rise, and light our passing.
Stand and fight, the world will hear us,
For we once had our time in the sun.
Stand and fight, the world will listen,
For we once had our time in the sun.
