This Is London

This is London, this is war

Nothing like we've seen before

1940 World War II

Air raid sirens screaming to warn you

267 nights of straight bombing

40,00 people dead

One million houses children grew up in

Razed by planes overhead

In the shelters down below

We pray for everyone we know

Pledge this oath to our dying day

Save our city come what may

For this is London, this is Bristol

This is Coventry

This is courage, this is spirit

This is bravery

Every night their evil game

Dusk to dawn with deadly aim

Starting with a distant hum

Chasing me but how do I run from

Three hundred bombers

Dropping tons of explosives

Thirty-five seconds to fall

Each one five hundred pounds of destruction

Our names on them all

We stand together arm in arm

From local pub to country farm

Hold our ground for the King and Crown

God save us, God save London Town

For this is Cardiff

This is Plymouth

This is Birmingham

This is valor, this is virtue

This is who I am

This is London

This is war
