Down among the dead men let him lie!
Now, comrades, let the glass blush red, Drink we the unforgotten dead That did their deeds and went away, Before the bright sun brought the day. And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down, Down among the dead men let him lie! The Day? Ah, friends, late grows the night; Drink to the glimmering spark of light, The herald of the joy to be, The battle-torch of thee and me! And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down, Down among the dead men let him lie! Take yet another cup in hand And drink in hope our little band; Drink strife in hope while lasteth breath, And brotherhood in life and death; And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men, down among the dead men, Down, down, down, down, Down among the dead men let him lie! |
