1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 WHEN WE LOOK BACK THROUGH THE YEARS
WE’VE HAD SOME LUCK, WE’VE SHED SOME TEARS
SO MANY OLD HERO’S OF THE HIGHEST RANKS
SO MANY HAVE FALLEN LIKE PAISLEY AND SHANKS

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 BUT CAST YOUR MIND BACK TO THAT FATEFUL DAY
SO MANY HAD TRAVELLED ALONG THE WAY
SO MUCH LAUGHTER AND PASSION FROM THE LOYAL SOULS
WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM BEHIND THE GOAL.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 AS A STADIUM WATCHED AND CHEERED A GAME
PEOPLES LIVES WHERE TAKEN LEAVING ONLY A NAME
A STRUGGLE FOR BREATH AS LIVES SLIPPED AWAY
BET YOU CAN NEVER FORGET THAT DREADFUL DAY

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 LOYAL FANS CAME IN THEIR THOUSANDS TO LAY A WREATH
FANS ACROSS THE WORLD SHARED IN THEIR GRIEF
FLOWERS AND SCARVES, T-SHIRTS LAID THERE TO
SOME FROM ACROSS THE PARK LEFT BEHIND THE BLUE

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 96 PEOPLE WENT AND NEVER CAME HOME FROM THE MATCH
THE PEOPLE WHO WITNESSED IT ALL FROZEN ONLY TO WATCH
NOW LAID TO REST THEY CAN LOOK DOWN ON THE TEAM
ASK A TRUE RED, WHAT PASSION FOR L.F.C REALLY DOES MEAN.
