Hope and Glory by The Dowling Poole Lyrics

So, what of dignity and our identity?
Oh sacred freedom, what became of you?
A nation fading fast, no longer trading at it’s best
Sweet freedom, what became of you?
So what of you and me? We’re cast away and lost at sea

Searching for hope in the absence of glory
You’re searching for hope, it’s a mythical story of
One man’s quest to assume the diadem

Don’t know what to believe, no values to rely on
Fate - when will we reunite with you?
No sign of unity, no shoulder here to cry on
Love - when will we reconnect with you?
I just can’t walk away while you all dance toward the flames

Chorus

Legacy burning and where are they now?
They sing of their mission
But where are they going and what will they find?
Is there an answer or could we forever be blind
Searching for hope in the absence of glory
Still searching for hope in the absence of glory
Thy fortress of freedom is our sacred kingdom
We’re searching for hope, it’s a mythical story of
A nation’s quest to assume the diadem
Truth and light and the God-given right to condemn
Stars of solemn brightness, we’ll show them
