Once We Were Kings lyrics

[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]

Here's a piece of advice, Billy

Piss off out of here

Start everything a-fresh and don't look back

There is sod-all left for you here

You are very fucking special

Now piss off before I start to cry

[MINERS]

Once we built visions on the ground we hewed

We dreamt of justice and of men renewed

All people equal, in all things

We once were heroes

Once were kings

But all great things must come to pass

We know the first will soon be last

And in the ground we may be lain

But a seed is sown to rise again

So we walk proudly

And we walk strong

All together

We will go as one

The ground is empty

And cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

[Spoken TONY]

You show 'em kiddo

Knock them dead, will ya?

[Spoken BILLY]

Thanks, Tony

[Spoken TONY]

Alright

See ya, sunshine

[MINERS & TOWNSPEOPLE]

We saw a land where wealth was shared

Each pain relieved, each hunger fed

Each man revered, each tyrant killed

Each soul redeemed, each life fulfilled

From each man's means to each his need

We saw a time man would be freed

We fought for all the things we saw

The battle's lost but not the war

So we walk proudly

And we walk strong

All together

We will go as one

The ground is empty

And cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We will go down but our heads are proud

We will go down with our voices loud

We will go down but come again

And we all go together when we go

And we all go together when we go

We walk proudly, and we walk strong

All together we will go as one

The ground is empty, and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We walk proudly, and we walk strong

All together we will go as one

The ground is empty, and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go

We walk proudly, and we walk strong

All together we will go as one

The ground is empty, and cold as hell

But we all go together when we go
