(Verse 1)
Two hours before the dawn, the mist gave way,
Like shadows in the moonlight, the enemy stood at bay.
My heart began to pound, the truth I couldn't hide,
This was war, I knew, with nowhere left to hide.
(Verse 2)
Like Goliath on his throne, before young David's might,
Or Pretorius on his knees, before God in the fading light.
Lord, an overwhelming force, arrayed before my eyes,
But whatever may befall, I know where my true path lies.
(Verse 3)
My wife and my children are the reasons that I fight,
This land beneath my feet, my people's sacred right.
My veins are woven deep, in fields of golden grain,
A vision flashes back, where hand in hand we'd reign.
(Verse 4)
The drums beat in my ears, a deafening, wild roar,
But fear no longer holds me, faith I have, and more.
My heart is in my throat, I wait to hear the call,
This is war, my brothers, we'll give our all.
(Chorus)
Let Goliath come, the David inside me is ready for him,
The seer foretold this for far too long.
Come on, let us stand as one, a nation brave and bold,
Let Goliath come, our story will be told.
(Verse 5)
The seer has spoken, of ice that melts away,
An invasion from afar, that darkens every day.
The West against the East, their weapons clash and clang,
The Boer nations falter, beneath Baal's cruel fang.
(Verse 6)
The writing's on the wall, if only we can see,
Our people face a slaughter, a tragic destiny.
The heroes we once were, we must rise up again,
The time will surely tell, this is war, amen.
(Chorus)
Let Goliath come, the David inside me is ready for him,
The seer foretold this for far too long.
Come on, let us stand as one, a nation brave and bold,
Let Goliath come, our story will be told.
(Outro)
Let Goliath come, let Goliath come,
The David inside me's is ready for him
Our victory will come
We'll stand as one, united and so free
So let Goliath COME!
Sabbatone
