Once We Were Kings Lyrics

    MEN
    Once we built visions on the ground we hewed
    We dreamt of justice and of men renewed
    All people equal, in all things
    We once were heroes,
    Once were kings
    But all great things must come to pass
    We know the first will soon be last
    And in the ground we maybe lain
    But a seed is sown to rise again

    So we walk proudly
    And we walk strong
    All together
    We will go atone
    The ground is empty
    And cold as hell
    But we all go together when we go

    We saw a land where wealth was shared
    Each pain relieved, each hunger fed
    Each man revered, each tyrant killed
    Each soul redeemed, each life fulfilled

    From each mats means to each his need
    We saw a time man would be freed
    We fought for all the things we saw
    The battle's lost but not the war

    So we walk proudly
    And we walk strong
    All together
    We will go as one
    The ground is empty
    And cold as hell
    But we all go together when we go
    We will go down but our heads are proud
    We will go down with our voices loud
    We will go down but come again
    And we all go together when we go
    Ah... (3 times)
    And we all go together when we go.

    We walk proudly, and we walk strong
    All together we will go as one
    The ground is empty, and cold as hell
    But we all go together when we go.

    We walk proudly, and we walk strong
    All together we will go as one
    The ground is empty, and cold as hell
    But we all go together when we go.

    We walk proudly, and we walk strong
    All together we will go as one
    The ground is empty, and cold as hell
    But we all go together when we go.
