You know we're up against it
And our backs are against the wall
Oh all the tribes of Egypt
They are plotting out our fall
But we will yet be victorious
Oh I can hear that clarion call
And the angels sing in chorus
As on the battlements we stand tall
Yes we are up against
But you know we must dig deep
Under the skin, to the guts where in
Our reserves of courage sleep
We must awaken the lion
And go roaring into the fight
For when you are up against it
There can be no escape or flight
Yes we must tough it out my friends
And wave our standards high
And let the banners of our armies
Unfurl and in the cross winds fly
We must meet our enemy
And we must knuckle down
And when we hear the speech of Henry
We will fight for country and crown
