Proud to be Proud

When Offa spilled Myrging blood we were proud

When Hengest routed the wealas we were proud

When Penda withstood the cross we were proud

When Alfred stayed the Danes we were proud

Heroes passed unto ye we give hail

Mighty men without fear, without shame

Some will say that our pride is a sin

But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud

When victory was won at Brunanburh we were proud

When Byrhtnoth raised his sword we were proud

When Harold destroyed Hardrada we were proud

When Hereward defied the bastard we were proud

Heroes passed unto ye we give hail

Mighty men without fear, without shame

Some will say that our pride is a sin

But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud

Slowly with time the past slips away

But deep in our souls their memory stays

Weapons of guilt won't conquer our minds

Just strengthen our will to defy

The ignorant void ever opening wide

But we keep their names and spirits alive

Arrows of fear won't pierce our minds

Just strengthen our will to defy

Heroes passed unto ye we give hail

Mighty men without fear, without shame

Some will say that our pride is a sin

But in their name we'll unite and we're proud to be proud
