Darkest Hour lyrics

We buried our sons

We turned and fled

No growing old

The glorious dead

But we came back

Because one man said

Now on the beaches

The blood runs red

I faced them down

The only one

I stood alone

And warned the day would come

But they were wrong

Appeases every one

And not for the last time

We all stand alone

I watch the sun move away

As I embrace the night

And my black dog has it's day

For six long yеars, you shall not pass

Barbarians at the gates

We will ovеrcome

Here I stand

In a serenade of glory

Naked by the throne of kings

You sowed the wind

And now you reaped the whirlwind

Before the dawn the darkest hour

The darkest hour

To blaze in glory like a dying sun

One last burning giant

Tell Jupiter moves on

Turn the ploughshares into swords

You sons of Albion awake

Defend this sacred land

Here I stand

In a serenade of glory

Naked by the throne of kings

You sowed the wind

And now you reaped the whirlwind

Before the dawn the darkest hour

The darkest hour

Here I stand

In a serenade of glory

Naked by the throne of kings

You sowed the wind

And now you reaped the whirlwind

Before the dawn the darkest hour

Here I stand

In a serenade of glory

Naked by the throne of kings

You sowed the wind

And now you reaped the whirlwind

Before the dawn the darkest hour

Before the dawn the darkest hour
