‘England My Land’
Trumpets sound across the shire
Comes forth the blazing chariot of fire
She rides the lightening, can you see her?
England’s goddess, Boadicea
And dragons fly across the sky
When they hear St George’s battle cry
“An eye for an eye, surrender or you’ll die”
England my land, forever reign in my heart
England my land, we shall never walk apart
England, your destiny and pride can’t be denied
And I’ll stand by your side
Until the day I die
Illustrious land, my England
Armour-clad warriors lay sleeping in your veins
Waiting till they’re called once more
To defend your hills and plains
And the axe of war will fly anew
As adversaries come in to view
Your beaches shall remain free
Oh glorious fortress of the sea…
England my land, forever reign in my heart
England my land, we shall never walk apart
England, your destiny and pride can’t be denied
And I’ll stand by your side
Until the day I die
Illustrious land, my England
