Everything was silent and the smoke fired in our eyes
The cold wind blew across the land in the misty morning light
We were 2000 brothers here, going forth to fight
With sword and shield but without fear as we heard the battle cry

Father helaman we covenant now to fight
For liberty land and family to the laying down of lives
Father out god is with us, he will not suffer us to fall
We will be obedient having faith to conquer all

Chorus:
Our mothers always taught us we should never doubt
If we are true and faithful we will conquer now
Our god will fight beside us, he will help us win
Our mothers always knew, it we would all come home again

We lifted up our swords and we fought with all our might
We had never fought before but we fought the laminates
They were blood thirsty warriors with their faces painted red
When the battle was over, there were thousands left for dead

Chorus

I fell with many wounds and was taken from the dead
I looked around the battleground and the laminates had fled
Of my 2000 brothers here, one soul had not been slain
We could see our mother's tears as we sang this song again
