This version (and the SYPC version, which is very similar to this one) is slightly different from the original cast version, which has now been released on iTunes. The verses are indifferent order and the second part is slightly faster in the original cast version than in this one. I'm not sure this version here is really better, but being used to it I prefer it over the original cast version. I wonder why they changed the songs... The "original original" version are very good!
I've gotten the biggest chills watching this. The choreography synced in with the incredible voices and acting skills pulled together the piece brilliantly. Congratulations on the amazing work and keep it up!
Syncing this with SYPC's cover of it is amaazing! You get even more voices in the harmonies! Seriously, do it. Sync up the "All as one..." part and just listen to all at once!
Here are the full lyrics Dark times lie ahead, Now that the whole world steps into battle. Everything uncertainly near and far, So unclear, And I can’t begin to wonder how this war will end. Come what may, we will stand where we stand, Let the drums march on, We will hold hand in hand. Born in fear, They will come stealing light, If we lose hope, We can’t shine with all our might, If they beat down our pride. Then we’ll fight. We’ll fight till the sky falls down. Yes, we’ll fight. We’ll show them we won’t be bound. Then we’ll fight Through canon blasts and motor stings, they try to hurt us we will win through yellow gas and flash grenades Our boys will crush them all the same it’s simple, Beating as one heart, they’ll hear us sing We will not fall to anything Our songs of steel won’t lessen We will not stand oppression Then we’ll fight, fight till the sky falls down, then we’ll fight We’ll show we’ll hold our ground, Then we’ll fight, Oh, let them hear us now, And then we’ll fight, We’ll fight them as one nation, So many men, so many sons and fathers, Oh off they went, to meet the German keiser Now east they go, with French, Italian comrades, Those fritzies know our guys are gonna find them, We’ll wave our flag, let it fly in their face, (to every friends in combat) let it send them a message we’ll hear, (we will prevail, we'll show them fritz can fight back) We won’t be bullied, (If here's my past, we'll guard in this allience) Won’t take no disgrace, Let it fly in their face, let it fly, (our bodies are strong as lions) Then we’ll fight, we’ll fight till the sky falls down, Then we’ll fight, our spirits will be renowned, Then we’ll fight, oh god let them hear us now, And then we’ll fight, we’ll battle them as one nation, All as one, like our heroes marching strong, Even when all seems lost, Then we’ll fight, A single voice can try in vain, (A single voice can try in vain) To rise above to make a change, (To rise above to make a change) But we’re not one we are a crowd, (but we’re not one we are a crowd) So use your voices let them call out loud Yes! Echoing through battlefields we call One million miles away they'll know Our song will last the ages They'll learn to fear our faces We know it’s though, (side by side) Know the dangers out there, (and hand in hand) But we don’t care we join in the ranks, (We’ll kick their ass, across the land)) We won’t be threatened, won’t stay in place, (side by side and hand in hand) We will join in the cause side by side, (We’ll kick their ass, across the land) Side by side and hand in hand we’ll kick their ass across the land Then we’ll fight, We’ll fight till the sky falls down Then we’ll fight, We'll turn all the tides around, The we’ll fight, Oh god let them hear us now, and then we’ll fight, We’ll battle them as one nation, Then we'll fight, (All as one) and then we'll fight(we are strong) and together Oh god let them hear us now, (we'll never let them break us) And then we'll fight, we'll battle them as one nation, (Fight, fight them as one nation) All as one, Like our heroes marching strong, Even when all seems lost, We will stand, Fall stand through Side by side, We will fight
Oh my gosh. I have watched this video over and over again. It is so amazing and inspiring to people. I hope I get to do a workshop as great as this someday. Really wish I had gone to the show because WOW the vocals are just great.
After listening to the song multiple multiple times, these are the lyrics I've come up with for people asking. They may not be right, and I couldn't understand a few words, so those are filled with question marks. Hope this helps!! Dark times lie ahead, Now that the whole world steps into battle. Everything uncertainly ran far, So unclear, And I can't begin to wonder how this war will end. Come what may, we will stand where we stand, Let the drums march on, We will hold hand in hand. Born in fear, They will come stealing light, If we lose hope, We can't shine with all our might, If they beat down our pride. Then we'll fight. We'll fight 'til the sky falls down. Yes, we'll fight. We'll show them we won't be bound. Then we'll fight!
Through rain and hell, through every crimson combat, (Through (???), let it fly in their face, let it send them a message we're here.) We will prevail, we'll show them Brits can fight back! If this may pass, we'll guard in this alliance ((???), let it fly in their face, let it fly!) Our faces bold, our bodies strong as lions. And then we'll fight, We'll fight 'til the sky falls down. Then we'll fight, Our spirits will be renown! Yes, then we'll fight, Oh, God, let them hear us now! And then we'll fight, We'll battle them as one nation! All as one! Like a hero's marching strong. Even when all seems lost, then we'll fight!
A single voice can try in vain, (A single voice can try in vain.) To rise above to make a change. (To rise above to make a change.) But we're not one, we are a crowd! (But we're not one we are a crowd) So use your voices, let them call out loud, yes! Echoing through battlefields, we call! One million miles away, they'll know. Our song will last the ages! They'll learn to fear our faces! Side by side, and hand in hand. We'll kick their ass(??) across the land. (We know it's tough, know that danger's at hand, but we don't care, we join in the crowd.) Side by side and hand in hand. We'll kick their ass(??) across the land. (We won't be threatened, won't stand in our place, we will join in the call side by side!)
And we'll fight, (And we'll fight,) We'll fight 'til the sky falls down. (We'll fight 'til the sky falls down.) And then we'll fight, (And then we'll fight,) We'll turn all the tides around! (We'll turn all the tides around!) Yes, then we'll fight, (Yes, then we'll fight,) Oh, God, let them hear us now! (Oh, God, let them hear us now!) And then we'll fight, (And then we'll fight,) We'll battle them as one nation! (We'll battle them as one..) Fight! We'll fight 'til the sky falls down. And then we'll fight, (????), just look around! We'll fight, Oh, God, let them hear us now! And then we'll fight, We'll battle them as one nation! (All as one, we are stronger together, so we'll never let them break us. And then we'll fight, fight them as one nation!) All as one! Like a hero's marching strong. Even when all seems lost. We will stand, We'll stand true! Side by side! We will fight!
That must have been quite some work to write all this down... There might still be some question marks, but this is already much more than what I am able to understand, so thank you very much for your effort! And how come I not have seen this much earlier?
Ran. glacialis It actually wasn't that hard at all! I enjoy this song so I've listen to it quite a few times, and typing it out wasn't difficult! Glad I could help!
If you have the CD, it's the closest thing to seeing it live as it has the full story in the booklet... Other than that, it's available to license, so schools and youth groups can do it, maybe suggest it to someone...
www.theatricalrights.com/show/the-battle-of-boat/ This is where you can license it - it has only been available a few months but had 10 productions to date... People need to start putting it on to spread the word!
For me, this is THE original cast, and I just wish this talented bunch were the ones who got to premiere it on stage :(
This version (and the SYPC version, which is very similar to this one) is slightly different from the original cast version, which has now been released on iTunes. The verses are indifferent order and the second part is slightly faster in the original cast version than in this one. I'm not sure this version here is really better, but being used to it I prefer it over the original cast version. I wonder why they changed the songs... The "original original" version are very good!
Still so proud to look back on this... great memories of filming this :)
I've gotten the biggest chills watching this. The choreography synced in with the incredible voices and acting skills pulled together the piece brilliantly. Congratulations on the amazing work and keep it up!
This was one of the best experiences I ever had! I feel honored to have been the original Florence x
Syncing this with SYPC's cover of it is amaazing! You get even more voices in the harmonies! Seriously, do it. Sync up the "All as one..." part and just listen to all at once!
It's hard to do but worth it.
+SrslyBored1 I did it!
ok imma try that
omg this is amazing
Best idea of the century goes to you!
Is there a full version of this cast singing the whole musical? Love all there voices
Here are the full lyrics
Dark times lie ahead,
Now that the whole world steps into battle.
Everything uncertainly near and far,
So unclear,
And I can’t begin to wonder how this war will end.
Come what may, we will stand where we stand,
Let the drums march on,
We will hold hand in hand.
Born in fear,
They will come stealing light,
If we lose hope,
We can’t shine with all our might,
If they beat down our pride.
Then we’ll fight.
We’ll fight till the sky falls down.
Yes, we’ll fight.
We’ll show them we won’t be bound.
Then we’ll fight
Through canon blasts and motor stings,
they try to hurt us we will win
through yellow gas and flash grenades
Our boys will crush them all the same it’s simple,
Beating as one heart,
they’ll hear us sing
We will not fall to anything
Our songs of steel won’t lessen
We will not stand oppression
Then we’ll fight,
fight till the sky falls down,
then we’ll fight
We’ll show we’ll hold our ground,
Then we’ll fight,
Oh, let them hear us now,
And then we’ll fight,
We’ll fight them as one nation,
So many men, so many sons and fathers,
Oh off they went, to meet the German keiser
Now east they go, with French, Italian comrades,
Those fritzies know our guys are gonna find them,
We’ll wave our flag, let it fly in their face, (to every friends in combat)
let it send them a message we’ll hear, (we will prevail, we'll show them fritz can fight back)
We won’t be bullied, (If here's my past, we'll guard in this allience)
Won’t take no disgrace,
Let it fly in their face, let it fly, (our bodies are strong as lions)
Then we’ll fight, we’ll fight till the sky falls down,
Then we’ll fight, our spirits will be renowned,
Then we’ll fight, oh god let them hear us now,
And then we’ll fight, we’ll battle them as one nation,
All as one, like our heroes marching strong,
Even when all seems lost,
Then we’ll fight,
A single voice can try in vain,
(A single voice can try in vain)
To rise above to make a change,
(To rise above to make a change)
But we’re not one we are a crowd,
(but we’re not one we are a crowd)
So use your voices let them call out loud
Yes!
Echoing through battlefields we call
One million miles away they'll know
Our song will last the ages
They'll learn to fear our faces
We know it’s though, (side by side)
Know the dangers out there, (and hand in hand)
But we don’t care we join in the ranks, (We’ll kick their ass, across the land))
We won’t be threatened, won’t stay in place, (side by side and hand in hand)
We will join in the cause side by side, (We’ll kick their ass, across the land)
Side by side and hand in hand we’ll kick their ass across the land
Then we’ll fight,
We’ll fight till the sky falls down
Then we’ll fight,
We'll turn all the tides around,
The we’ll fight,
Oh god let them hear us now,
and then we’ll fight,
We’ll battle them as one nation,
Then we'll fight, (All as one)
and then we'll fight(we are strong)
and together
Oh god let them hear us now, (we'll never let them break us)
And then we'll fight, we'll battle them as one nation, (Fight, fight them as one nation)
All as one,
Like our heroes marching strong,
Even when all seems lost,
We will stand,
Fall stand through
Side by side,
We will fight

This is amazing! - is there a karaoke style to this song?
This is one of those shows that i just want to see a bootleg for.But I cant find any.
If you have the CD, it's the closest thing to seeing it live as it has the full story in the booklet... Other than that, it's available to license, so schools and youth groups can do it, maybe suggest it to someone...
