lyrics

62 ships, 10000 souls,
Sailing right out of the sun
The empire's might sees the furious tribes
Lined up for the battle to come
No safe landing here

The fleet sails east to a landing at Walmer
The troops forced to swim from deep water
With the Britons attacking at range from the shallows
They're heading right into the slaughter
No safe landing here

A talisman of hope to England's friend
A beacon of welcome at long journey's end
This green and pleasant land is guarded over
By the ancient watchmen of the white cliffs of dover

After 2000 years, a greater threat
Rises from out of the east
The country defends in blackouts and fear
From the air not only the seas
No safe landing here

Batteries of guns and listening posts
Bristle along the cliff
Circling above a hurricane wheels
The few become part of the myth
No safe landing here

A talisman of hope to England's friend
A beacon of welcome at long journey's end
This green and pleasant land is guarded over
By the ancient watchmen of the white cliffs of dover

No safe landing here
