(RG Note. Variant on tune used for The Horn of the Hunter) source: Scottish Students Song Book c. 1892 We meet 'neath the sounding rafters, And the walls around are bare; As they echo to our laughter 'Twould not seem that the dead were there. So stand to your glasses steady, 'Tis all we have left to prize. Quaff a cup to the dead already And one to the next who dies. Who dreads to the dead returning, Who shrinks from that sable shore Where the high and haughty yearning Of the souls will be no more? cho: Cut off from the land that bore us, Betrayed by the land we find, When the brightest have gone before us And the dullest remain behind. cho: There's a mist on the glass congealing, 'Tis the hurricane's fiery breath And 'tis thus that the warmth of feeling Turns ice in the grasp of death. cho: There is many a head that is aching, There is many a cheek that is sunk, There is many a heart that is breaking, Must burn with the drinks we have drunk. cho: There is not time for repentance, 'Tis folly to yield to despair, When a shudder may finish a sentence, Or death put an end to a prayer. cho: Time was when we frowned on others, We thought we were wiser then; But now let us all be brothers, For we never may meet again. cho: But a truce to this mournful story, For death is a distant friend. So here's to a life of glory, And a laurel to crown each end. cho: @death @war @soldier filename[ LASTMAN RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Hi Fi Stereo Color Tv, Hieland Laddie, Hieland Laddy Jacobite, High Barbaree, High Heel Sneakers, High Part Of The Town, Highway Hunter, Hildas Cabinet Band, Hillary Song, Hills Of Isle Au Haut, Hills Of Yatan, Hind Eton, Hind Horn, Hippies And The Beatniks, Hiram Hubbard, Hiroshima, Hitler Has Only Got One Ball, Hoboes Grand Convention, Hobos Lullaby, Hogeye Man, Hold The Fort, Hold The Line, Hold Thy Peace, Hole In The Pipers Bag, Holland Handkerchief, Hollow Ground, Holly And The Ivy, Holly Jolly Christmas, Home Boys Home Navy Version, Home Firth Anthem, Home For The Holidays, Home On The Range, Home Sweet Home, Homespun Dress, Homestead On The Farm, Homestead Strike, Honest Farmer Or Boll Weevil, Honest Labourer, Honest Working Man, Honey, Honey That I Love So Well, Hooker In A Bottle Christina Parody, Hooks And Nets, Horn Of The Hunter, Hot Rod Lincoln, Hound Dog, Hound Dog Song, House Carpenter, House Of The Rising Sun, How Can I Keep From Swinging, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
