Pride Of Australia

Gathering below the blazing sunlight

Way out of the enemies sight

Assembled riders behind the ridge

Waiting for the battle call

Soon to ride against the foe

Armed with blessings and bayonets

Flashing like swords in the light of sun

Waiting for the orders to come

Attack!

Pushing them horses into a trot

Spreading out over the field

Still unseen by the enemies eye

Riding for glory or riding to die

Quicken the pace -- into a gallop

Riding -- ignoring the fear

Of cause we were scared -- but we couldn't drop

Wishing to hell we weren't here

Shaking ground - as the canons begin to roar

Detonating - as we ride straight into war

Falling - horses go insane

Dying - soldiers scream in pain

Rapid fire begins to take it's toll

Riders horses -- deadly wounded they fall

Ground shaking -- roaring horses thunder

We will ride to victory -- never going under!

Plowing through the enemy

Overrunning man and gun

They surrender or they die

The battle must be won

Down in Berersheba

A legend was made

Paid with blood

Of the light horse brigade
