Race To The Sea

[00:00.18] We're keeping the kingdom free

[00:04.82] As an archduke falls and the battle horn calls

[00:07.48] Our lives would never be the same

[00:10.14] We were looking down the barrel of a gun

[00:15.18] Now the war has come and the battle's begun

[00:17.83] We are desperate and overrun

[00:20.50] To the war drum we'll be marching until it's done

[00:26.07] Lead the way, we will follow into the fray

[00:31.13] We will hold the line we will not be led astray

[00:36.46] For king and for country, we are flooding the river

[00:41.25] Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea

[00:46.29] The last piece of Belgium is free, we're keeping a sliver

[00:51.07] A cog in the war machine, October of 1914

[00:56.78] As our foe draws forth we are moving on north

[00:59.44] We will never let them have it all

[01:02.35] There's a price for freedom paid by Belgiums sons

[01:06.88] They may take our towns, they may conquer our grounds

[01:10.06] We'll defend the nation and the crown

[01:12.72] We'll uphold our independence with our guns

[01:17.69] All the way, on to triumph or to judgement day

[01:23.26] We will follow and we will not be led astray

[01:28.58] For king and for country, we are flooding the river

[01:33.36] Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea

[01:38.41] The last piece of Belgium is free, we're keeping a sliver

[01:43.18] A cog in the war machine, October of 1914

[02:15.52] See a king and a soldier, fighting shoulder to shoulder

[02:23.24] See a king and a soldier, fighting shoulder to shoulder

[02:31.46] He overruled his commanders, he made a last stand in Flanders

[02:38.93] We see our king and a soldier, they're fighting shoulder to shoulder

[02:44.24] To keep the last piece of Belgium free

[02:50.08] All the way, on to triumph or to judgement day

[02:54.33] We will follow and we will not be led astray

[02:59.92] For king and for country, we are flooding the river

[03:04.70] Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea

[03:09.75] The last piece of Belgium is free, we're keeping a sliver

[03:14.51] A cog in the war machine, October of 1914

[03:19.55] For king and for country, we are flooding the river

[03:24.32] Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea

[03:29.38] We're free

[03:30.70] For king and for country we are flooding the river

[03:35.12] No more of our country lost, the line will be held at all cost
