¶Lyrics / Text

Horatio Nelson, I've heard them say, Might have lived to another day, Had he covered his medals and bowed his head, A sniper would not have shot him dead. But I say ye this, who care to heed In each man's life there stands a need To wave a flag, albeit his own; And if in consequence he bleed and groan, Then Honor reaps what Pride has sown.
