HIGH NOON

High  Noon

High noon and the drums are beating
I can hear them every day
In the distance though its fleeting
You can hear the voices say
We the people are becoming
Ready for a judgement day

Long gone now the time for waiting
Shackles hold us in the dark
Defiance ever more creating
Ready now to light the spark
Who will lead the people onwards
With our clarion call and mark

So burn the fiery flame of freedom
Show the way for us to know
Skyward burning like a phantom
Following onward we must go
Lest in darkness of the shadows
We should fall among the low

Too late now the voice of reason
Counciling in wisdoms reach
We can hear a tale of treason
Blackest infamy to teach
From the foulest turning traitor
To the ravens bracken screech

So hold the line and hold the sword
We'll call not one of them a lord
To us is given now a light
The flame is ever burning bright
And all around the world they'll say
That we stood ready on this day .....
