Songs and rhymes of a lead miner

To Arms!

Song. Recruiting Call.

Arise! Arise! Britannia’s sons!
    And forward go with flag unfurled,
And help to crush this murderous Power
    That seeks to dominate the world.

Arise and answer to the call,
    And strike for freedom and the name
Of manhood ’gainst a foe that’s lost
    Alike to honour and to shame!

Then dauntless let your courage be
    Upon the land, upon the sea;
Blood of the innocent cries to you
    For vengeance on the fiendish crew.

Fear not to fight, fear not to die
    In the dear cause of Liberty;
Then righteousness shall be your guard,
    The God of justice will reward.
