The Chartist Anthem Songtext
von Windborne

A hundred years, a thousand years,
We′re marching on the road
The going isn't easy yet,
We′ve got a heavy load
We've got a heavy load
The way is blind with blood and sweat,
And death sings in our ears
But time is marching on our side,
We will defeat the years,
We will defeat the years.
We men of bone of shrunken shank,
Our only treasure dearth,
Women who carry at their breast Heirs to the hungry earth,
Heirs to the hungry earth
Speak with one voice, we march,
We rest, and march again upon the years
Sons of our sons are listening
To hear the Chartist cheers
To hear the Chartists cheers
A hundred years, a thousand years,
We're marching on the road
The going isn′t easy yet,
We′ve got a heavy load
We've got a heavy load
