Stone Keep Chant

This is England—hear the drum

Stamp the earth,

we come as one

This is England—hold the line

Sing it loud

till the bells align

(hey! ho!)

On the ridge where the banners flew

Oak and iron, sky turned blue

From the stonework to the shore

We remember,

we endure

(ha!) Gather close, let the old words ring Breath in smoke,

feel the courage sing

One more step,

one more vow This is England—now (hey!)

This is England—hear the call

Raise your voice, stand tall

This is England—through the storm

We chant on,

we chant on

(hey! hey!)

Mist on the moor,

steel at side Church bells far,

tide to tide We don’t bend,

we don’t fade By the oath our fathers made (ho!)

This is England—hear the call

Raise your voice, stand tall

This is England—through the storm We chant on,

we chant on (hey!

hey!)

By the torchlight, by the rain

We take the road again Name by name,

town by town This is England (ahhh)

This is England—hear the call

Raise your voice, stand tall

This is England—through the storm We chant on,

we chant on

(hey! hey!) This is England (hey… hey…)
