Gallop To Glory

Dust on the horizon fire in the air

Eight hundred hearts pounding no time to despair

The reins held tight the ground it shakes

History waiting the leap it takes

Gallop to glory under the setting sun

With courage unbroken the battle was won

Remember their thunder their sacrifice too

Forever proud of the brave and the few

Hooves like a storm the desert did cry

Through barbed wire and bullets they rode to defy

A town in their sights a moment to claim

Beersheba’s name carved into fame

The odds were heavy the stakes were tall

But a Lighthorse charge could conquer it all

Gallop to glory under the setting sun

With courage unbroken the battle was won

Remember their thunder their sacrifice too

Forever proud of the brave and the few

Eight hundred rode thirty-one stood still

Their bravery echoing through the hill

We honor the fallen we honor the fight

In the darkest of hours they gave us light
