Terribly sorry for the quality. Need a mic lol
"By God We'll Have Our Home Again" by Mannerbund (Inspired by the version by @alderontyran) in Bb Minor. Played on a Yamaha APX-6C Electro-Acoustic Guitar.
Performance by Darkii
Sung in the tune of an old Sea Shanty called "Old Maui", "By God We'll Have Our Home Again" has become a song of rebellion. For me, this song has given me an inspiration to carry on. I added a verse myself to put my own spin on it.
DISCLAIMER: This recording is not meant to convey any political opinion. I just like the song.
A version of this song will be available on an upcoming album, so stay tuned!

About Me:
I'm Darkii, a Swadlincote, UK based musician, writer, actor and artist. I do all sorts of music, mostly Folk and Metal but I throw in other types of songs too. I've been writing music since 2021, and it's something that has given me joy, even during my darkest hours.
I'm fluent in English, Esperanto, Czech and Russian. I love learning languages, so if you want to teach me some of your native language, I'd be more than happy to listen!
Lyrics:
Verse I:
When there's nothing left but the fire in my chest
And the air that fills my lungs
I'll hold my tears and trade my years
For a glimpse at kingdom come
On the other side of misery
Is a world we long to see
The strife we share will take us there
To relief and sovereignty
Chorus:
Oh by god we'll have our home again
By god we'll have our home
By blood or sweat we'll get there yet
Oh by god we'll have our home
Verse II:
In our own towns we are foreigners now
And our names are spat and cursed
The headlines smack of another attack
Not the last and not the worst
Oh my fathers they look down on me
And I wonder what they feel
To see their noble sons driven low
Right beneath a coward's heel
Chorus:
Oh by god we'll have our home again
By god we'll have our home
By blood or sweat we'll get there yet
Oh by god we'll have our home
Verse III:
The path's gone dark, the road's now lost
And my eyes strain to see
I struggle forth to find a friend
Who'll light the way for me
Oh my brothers can you hear my voice
Or am I all alone?
If there's no fire to guide my way
Then I will start my own!
Chorus:
Oh by god we'll have our home again
By god we'll have our home
By blood or sweat we'll get there yet
Oh by god we'll have our home
Verse IV:
Brothers and friends united again
To struggle through our pain
If we don't fight through day and night
Our work will be in vain
Oh if we don't attack, and we don't fight back
Then we'll have failed our task
They massacre, leave us for dead
And that day will be our last
Chorus:
Oh by god we'll have our home again
By god we'll have our home
By blood or sweat we'll get there yet
Oh by god we'll have our home (X2)
