Hope and Glory

One destiny in store for us

Our day will surely come

No nation more victorious

Our islands in the Sun

Some hope, some glory

Some future before me

Some day before the glory fades away

The glory fades away

Yellow skies in strange formation

Warm wind and blinding rain

High seas and strange contagion

Our nation great again

Some hope, some glory

Some chance, some story

Some hope before the glory fades away

The glory fades away

We fade, fade away

The glory fades away

Our boys so brave and glorious

Our fathers' will be done

Our lady pray for all of us

Amen in kingdom come

Some hope, some glory

Some faith, some dawning

Some days of hope

Before the glory fades away

The glory fades away

We fade, fade away

The glory fades away

Fire on the hillside

Smoke on the waterfront

Wreckage in the harbour

Rats in the basement
