We‘ve been bereaved of so many brave men
Our hearts cried, our souls suffered anguish of despair
Faced with ruin – Our last gasp of resistance
We slayed to live and held our ground in bloody crucibles
With iron will we pushed back the darkness closing in on us
Persistent resistance
We gave all we had – Never quit!
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness
So keep in mind these words
When black clouds start to veil the skies
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness
So keep in mind these words for all time
Snow is falling as white as a sheet
And veils dismay, and veils blood, tears and despair
Though we‘ll recall our last gasp of resistance
