IAN & STIGGER: "Patriotic Ballads"
TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME
The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gathered together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch on the linden is leafy and green
The Rhine gives it's gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon says the whisper, arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Now Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me

PHOENIX RISING
I see a phoenix arising
Like a phoenix from the ashes raised
Sweeping evil before him
Marching on towards better days
(chorus)
Marching to the cities, marching
Marching to the towns, marching
With your banners before you, marching
Spread what you say, and spread it all around now
Rising, phoenix rising
There's job to be done now
Don't back down from the coming fight
We're gonna lighten our load now
And drag us back from the endless night
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
Now many flags are unfurling
And standing up to the tyranny
Men and women with a common bond
Tell each other "You can lean on me now"
(chorus) x2

GONE WITH THE BREEZE
You're gone with the breeze, just like the leaves on the trees
Gone are the times, with your family, with your family
You left life behind, you knew they had your death warrant signed
But there was no way, that you would compromise, no compromise
(chorus)
You're gone with the breeze, but you'll always be there on our minds
You're gone with the breeze, just a memory of those times
You're gone with the breeze, yeah you left a lotta people that loved you
You're gone with the breeze, but we'll remember you
You stood against lies, and you would never hide
You stood face-to-face, with the enemy, with the enemy
Against all the odds, danger's path you trod
You knew it could only end in tragedy, yeah, in tragedy
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
All ended in devastation, for a man who loved his nation
Another warrior they took away, yeah, they took him away
But in our hearts, he did not die, forever more his flag will fly
One day the land will stand in his memory, Robert Matthews
(chorus)
You've gone with the breeze, but we'll remember you
Yeah, you've gone with the breeze, but we'll remember you
You've gone with the breeze, but we'll remember you

THE RED THREAT
This is a warning, against a red day a'dawning
With communists trying, to get into our head
Take over the Media, with Marx they force feed ya
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
They encourage such mixing, to us it is sickening
And they say, for the Third World, we must provide bread
Just for one occasion, let's think of our own nations
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
instrumental break
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
We'll fight in the cities, we'll fight in the country
And we'll fight, the Red peril, our pride we'll not shed
For the strength of White nations, will be our salvation
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red
Come on all you Whites, fight the threat that is Red

THE LAND IS OURS
I feel a peace as I walk the leafy lanes
Look out over them hills, boy it looks like rain
See the distant mountains, with the storm clouds high above
This is my land, my country, the place I love
(chorus)
We ain't gonna like it if they take our land away
Looks like history repeating itself again
We ain't gonna like it if they take our land away
If they steal our heritage, somebody's gonna pay
My father worked this land as his father did before
And they'd turn in their graves, if they knew what was in store
Someone came from some big city, and tried to buy our farm
Threw our life's work out to rot, they've done a lot of harm
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
The pride in our community, the media'd love to kill
They hate to see our unity, intact against their will
Tried to take our livelihood, tried to take our guns
If we left 'em take our pride, then surely they have won
(chorus) x2
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
STAND BY YOUR OWN
The storm clouds are gathering, the Liberals are bleating
The vultures are looking down on the land of South Africa
The traitors are crowing, 'cos they see the Whites falling
They lie in their papers, about apartheid's evil way
(chorus)
Stand by your own, that's the best way
Stand by your own, from the ruins it came
Stand by your own, the only sane cry
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
False prophets are moaning, and the bankers are groaning
As the leaders of the weak White west prepare to sell-out the white man again
We sit here in Europe, and wonder what the future holds
The murdering ANC, walk free around our countries
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
As we look to the future, and hope that our kin survive
All we can do now, is pray for them all
(chorus)
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die

THE GREEN FIELDS OF FRANCE
Well, how do you do young Willie McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?
And rest for awhile in the warm summer sun
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done
-
I see by your gravestone, you were only nineteen
When you joined the great call-up in nineteen sixteen
And I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean
Or young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
-
(chorus)
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did they play the fife loudly?
Did they play the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the Last Post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
-
Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind?
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen
In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen
-
Or are you a stranger without even a name?
Enclosed and forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph, torn, battered and stained
And faded to yellow, in a brown leather frame
-
Well the sun, now it shines, on the green fields of France
As the warm summer breeze, that makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There's no gas, no barbwire, there's no guns firing now
-
But here in this graveyard that's still no-man's land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation, that was butchered and damned
-
Young Willie McBride, I can't help wondering why
Do those that lie here know why that they died?
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end war?
-
The sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
The killing and dying were all done in vain
Young Willie McBride, it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
WHO CARES?
A phone is on the table, just along the hall
But due to lack of food and drink, you cannot move at all
The pension that they give you, can't stock you up for long
And in your heart, the anger grows, 'cos you know that they done you wrong
(chorus)
What about the wars that you fought?
For the peace that you sought
But for you, my old man, just see what peace has brought
The peace has brought you nothing
The light around you darkens, as you weaken every hour
And never in your long hard life, have you ever felt so sour
You've got to see a doctor, or you're going to fade away
You've got to see somebody, or you won't last another day
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
The pills they will not dull, the aching in your head
You try once more to reach the telephone, but you cannot leave the bed
Then you fall back, the pain has gone, and you see your life's last sight
A bare stark wall, so very small, and you say your last goodnight
(chorus)
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
WHITE BLUES
Everybody gets the, gets the blues some time
Everybody gets the, gets the blues some time
And the government listens to everybody's, 'cept mine
If you belong to a minority, well then that's alright
If you belong to a minority, well then that's alright
But if you're just a simple British person
You'll have to stand and fight, for what's right
And no one ever asked us, exactly what we think
No one ever asked us, exactly what we think
As far as the powers are concerned
They've let the country sink
instrumental break
Well I just hope we don't lose, things that once were ours
Yeah I just hope we don't lose, things that once were ours
I think we better stand up, and rock 'em in their ivory towers
Yeah I think we better stand up, and rock 'em in their ivory towers
I said I think we better stand up, and rock 'em in their ivory towers...

SUDDENLY
We live in changing times
When certain thoughts are now a crime
Power flows through an evil pen
And freedom's light in growing dim
(chorus)
One day if suddenly, I'm forced to take my leave
Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe?
One day if suddenly, they take my life away
Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?
The people who've stood against us
They seem to be above the law
With the power to listen into private moments in our lives
And the power to come kick down your door
(chorus)
Our strength has come from ideals many years' old
A strength that has survived within our blood
A strength our foe has recognized, and sworn to drag it down
He wants to drag our people through the mud
(chorus) x2
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
However hard you may think you are
Something comes along that'll touch you
It may be the death of somebody close
But any way it'll find you
(chorus)
Everybody
Everywhere
Everybody
Needs, something to believe in
However high your barriers are
Something will arrive that will climb them
For no one can survive while standing all alone
We all need somebody, to help us carry on
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
They say a problem shared is a problem halved
And as time passes by it will prove it
We all need somebody to lend a helping hand
And when the chance arrives just grab it
(chorus) x2

THE SNOW FELL
He sat in a room, in a square the color of blood
He'd rule the whole world, if there was a way that he could
He'd sit and he'd stare at the minarets on top of the towers
For he was the beast, as he hatched his new plans to gain power
-
(chorus)
As the snow fell, covering the dreams and ideals
As the snow fell, freezing the blood and the wheels
As the snow fell, they had to keep warm for survival
As the snow fell, and defeated the beast's only rivals
-
They took the old roads, that Napoleon had taken before
They fought as the forces of light against the darkness in a holy war
One day they were looking out in the sunshine on the cornflowers
The next day they were freezing to death in the snow and the ice cold showers
-
Then came the deadly road back on the steppes of their retreat
The cold racked their bodies, but worse was the pain of defeat
And people who had hailed them once now turned and looked away
These people now knew that the beast was on his way
-
You finally came back to the borders of your Fatherland
Now enemies came, traitors everywhere at hand
Many people had fought and died, knowing that they had to win
And still it sickens my heart to see the picture of the Red flag in Berlin

ANOTHER PRAYER FOR THE DYING
Just another figure in a newspaper
Just another bloodstain on the ground
Just another victim of this once-great land
Could you tell me when salvation will be found?
Until then it's just...
(chorus)
Just another prayer for the dying
Just words spinning 'round in my head
Just another prayer for the dying
Just a requiem for the dead
The men in Whitehall sit drinking their champagne
Whilst our people fight for very life itself
Now we're second class in our own countries
In poverty whilst they build up their wealth
While I hear it still...
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
So now another victim is forgotten
Is murder just glossed over like a dream
When the politicians tell you that they stand for you
Remember they are never what they seem
(chorus) x2

THE LION'S ROAR
To the bloodshed, by sheep the lions led, our people have been used
Too many bloody wars, a nation led by whores, our lives have been abused
It seems the warrior spirit has now died
Seems the politicians always lied
Once a window on our land, the people could see through
Then a mist came, dimmed our eyesight, now the view's not true
A web of deceit stands before our eyes
Corrupted maze of stinking lies
How long's it been, seem you believed, that you were worth a thing?
Politicians and their masters, you are worth nothing
They don't care if you just live or die
So long as they got their fingers in every single pie
instrumental break
One day we'll wake up from a deep and dark foreboding sleep
And when we do I hope I don't hear bleating as from sheep
I wanna hear the lion stand and roar
Go ahead, kick down corruption's door
I wanna hear the lion stand and roar
Go ahead, kick down corruption's door
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
WE STAND ALONE
Do you stand and what for what the future's gotta bring?
Or do you try to make it change for you?
Are you sitting there, in your comfy sitting chair?
And like the others doing not a thing
(chorus)
We stand alone, in the mountains
We stand alone, for the sea and sand
We stand alone, for the cities and the towns
We stand alone, for this land
Are you one of those who is always keeping quiet?
Letting every foe walk over you
Or are you gonna stand and fight for your motherland?
For our time and our glory's overdue
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
After victory, our great reign, will last a thousand years
Honour and respect, for one and all
No one's gonna beat us once again with their deceit
The only chant will be our nation's call
(chorus)
We stand alone, for this land

ONE IN A MILLION
(written by Guns 'N Roses)
Yeah, I needed, a time to get away
I needed some peace of mind now, peace of mind that would stay
Got away from the robbers, they told us all lies
Left them there to dig their own graves now, left them there to die
Your police and niggers, that's right, get out of my way
I don't need to buy none of your gold chains today
I don't need thick bracelets, clamped around my chest
Just wanna live my own life now, just to do my best
(chorus)
You're one in a million, yeah that's what you are
You're one in a million baby, you're a shooting star
Maybe one day we'll see you, and 'cos you rule our lives
We always will do your work now, you're the star up high
Immigrants and faggots, they make no sense to me
They come to our countries, and think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini-Iran, or spread some stinking disease
They talk so many Goddamned ways now, it's all wrong to me
Well some say I'm wrong now, others say that's just me
Some don't like our songs now, I guess it'll always be
It's been such a long, long, time yeah, a'since I knew right from wrong
It's all just a means to and end now, I keep a'moving along
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
Zionists and turn-coat racists, don't point your finger at me
I'm just a small-time White boy, trying to make ends meet
Don't need strange religions, don't idolise TV
Just making my living baby, that's enough for me
(chorus)
Yeah the star up high
Yeah you're the star up high

WASTED LIFE
Saw you step out from Room 209
Smile on your face, and a teardrop in your eye
Knew you'd been sticking needles in your arm
You always said that it didn't do no harm
Looked into your eyes, and what did I see?
Misery and despair looking back at me
Yours once was a face, full of new hope
Now you're down on your knees, and you just can't cope
(chorus)
One more day, then a long tormented night
One more day, in another wasted life
Sometimes it may seem better how you are
Escaping from reality, from poverty and war
You have seen your country, invaded and possessed
They treat you and your countrymen, worse than all these guests
But really there is no excuse for doing what you do
Living in a dream world, leave the fighting to the few
To waste your life like this, must surely be a crime?
I'll tell you at the moment you're a dreadful waste of time
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus) x2
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
NEVER GIVE IN
If you look closely, look into our eyes
You will see a look there that will, never say die
We have been through too much, to give it all in
And one day though, we know not when
Well I, know we will win
(chorus)
We, we will never give in
We, we will never give in
The message to our enemies, with their treacherous beliefs
Our ideals are stronger, and your deaths will be, your release
Our strength it comes from heritage, and our very blood itself
The land from which our culture came; yeah, we don't fight for wealth
(chorus)
No, no, no !
instrumental break
(chorus)
We've been through many battles, lost comrades on the way
To give in quietly, well their, memories would betray
So much march now onwards, to meet our destiny
For fate is in our own hands, and that's the way that
It's got to be now
(chorus) x2
No, no, no!
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
GLORY
Deutschland erwache!
It took us twelve hours since the journey began
Until we finally came to the Fatherland
Dortmund City was the rendezvous
Proud German comrades doing what they could do, and now...
(chorus)
Bring back the glory of Deutschland
Bring back the glory of Deutschland
We traveled with comrades across the north
We went to do a concert for the people's cause
And now a thousand heart-beats beat as one
German-British friendship it will carry on
(chorus)
Ûber alles!
instrumental break
(chorus)
And then upon a tour of some German cities
The beer was strong and the girls were pretty
All our German comrades and all our friends
You can rest assured we will be back again

LEFT TO DROWN
Once again, another nation going down
Yeah another country, is left to drown
In Croatia the people fight against another Red Army
But our government is to busy shaking hands, with the murdering ANC
(chorus)
Another nation's going down
Another country left to drown
We have/had the power in our hands
We just sit and watch the destruction of another land
Once upon a time there was a land called Rhodesia
It earned its keep, and it ran itself, and never asked for charity
Once again our government, sided with the deadly foe
Now run by scum, it's called Zimbabwe, and it's as Red as it can go
(chorus)
Now it seems that we are next on our government's thick hit-list
Race relations and homo rights, well these causes' feet are kissed
Seems we are a minority in our own motherland
Our pleas for justice and common sense, well they disregard and ban
(chorus)
Will you always be like this, apathetic and in chains?
Or will you rise and realize, what they're doing to your brain
With their Media and their politics, well their lies come so easily
Well we've got to fight, and earn the right, to stand up proud and free
(chorus)
We just stood and watched the destruction of another land
8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28-8C28
WHY WORRY?
A skeptic said to me one sunny day, why the worried look upon your face?
He just smiled and he looked at me, what will be is gonna be
I said surely you will stand and fight, for what you believe to be right?
He said no, 'cos life's too short
I said your mind has now been bought
(chorus)
Why worry?
He said to me, Why worry?
It was meant to be, Why worry?
He asked me why?
I worry, 'cause I don't wanna die
I see what's happening, and it makes me mad
I think about it, and it makes me sad
The skeptic says that I should not think
Sit back and let the future sink
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
We'll stand and fight the rot
Fight for the hopes we have got
We will stand, we won't run away
And you will thank us on a future day

EUROPE ON MY MIND
So many lives have been wasted, scattered as dead leaves upon the ground
In the cause of the freedom they had tasted, and for the liberty they found
Ground beneath the heels of Red jackboots, with half of Europe ruled by the Red beast
Whilst the other half were fooled 'to thinking they were free, whilst kosher power ruled at every feast
(chorus)
Beloved Europe's on my mind now
It's on my mind, and in my soul
Beloved Europe on my mind now
Liberty and justice, is our goal
So many wars, with all their bloodshed, the flower of Europe died in middy fields
So much blood has bled, from the bodies of our lands; blind pride, it forced us not to yield
Yeah once again, a brother fought a brother, whilst the aliens stood, and laughed down on the fight
Their interests were enough to kill our Europe, and make us all as slaves in endless nights
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)

OUR TIME WILL COME
Living through the glory, living through the pain
Fighting in a war, freedom once again
Fought against a foe, that weren't real enemies
While certain people stayed at home, and your money they did seize
(chorus)
New order
Our time will come
New order
Our time will come
Now the battle's over, and your country is in chains
No land was the winner, no one ever gained
Apart from shady moneylenders, high up in ivory towers
Where they look down on the nation, and plot away for hours
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
When the chance arose to free your land again
You marched forth to battle, to misery and pain
You believed another war would free your sacred land
But all you did was what the bankers' bid, in another war they'd planned

TUESDAY'S GONE
(written by Rossington / Van Sandt)
Train rolls on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far away
Now I feel the wind blow, outside my door
Means I'm leaving my woman, far behind
(chorus)
Tuesday's gone with the wind
And my baby's gone, with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Yeah my baby's gone, with the wind
And I don't know, where I am going
I just want to be, left alone
For when this train ends, I'll try again
And I'm leaving my woman, at home
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
Train rolls on, many miles from my home
Now I'm riding my blues, away
Tuesday you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got, to carry on
