We buried our sons to turn them fled No growing old, 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, appeased as everyone And not for the last time we'll stand alone I watched the sun move away as I embraced the night And the black dark hazards stay For six long years you shall not pass Another type of days we will overcome There I sat in a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You saw the winds and then you read the words Before the dawn, the darkest hour The darkest hour To blaze and roar like a dying sun One last burning giant, two stupider losers Turn the branches into swords You sons are now the unawakened to fight this sacred war There I sat in a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You saw the winds and then you read the words Before the dawn, the darkest hour The darkest hour The darkest hour The darkest hour The darkest hour The darkest hour There I sat in a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You saw the winds and then you read the words Before the dawn, the darkest hour There I sat in a serenade of glory Naked by the throne of kings You saw the winds and then you read the words Before the dawn, the darkest hour Before the dawn, the darkest hour The darkest hour The darkest hour
