Orange & Blue

When the Brethren are met,

In their order so grand,

What a beautiful site for to see,

I was ordered to stand,

By a Brothers command,

To receive the bright orange and blue.

 

Chorus

To receive the bright orange and blue,

To receive the bright orange and blue,

I was ordered to stand,

By a Brothers command,

To receive the bright orange and blue.

 

2

Into darkness I entered,

Into darkness I stood,

With chains all about me they threw,

And the shoes on my feet,

I did then cast away,

To receive the bright orange and blue.

 

Chorus

To receive the bright orange and blue,

To receive the bright orange and blue,

And the shoes on my feet,

I did then cast away,

To receive the bright orange and blue.

 

3

A commotion like thunder,

Then fell on my ears,

As the darkness dissolved in my view,

As I stood in a maze,

And I wait to prepare,

To restore the bright orange and blue,

 

Chorus

To restore the bright orange and blue,

To restore the bright orange and blue,

As I stood in a maze,

and I wait to prepare,

To restore the bright orange and blue.

 

4

Then a great shining light,

Unto me was revealed,

And my soul was delivered as new,

As I stood for my cause,

My religion and laws,

And declare for the orange and blue,

 

Chorus

And declare for the orange and blue,

And declare for the orange and blue,

As I stood for my cause,

My religion and laws,

And declared for the Orange and Blue.

 

5

So we'll join heart and hand,

And like King William stand,

In defence of the faithful and true,

With the Boyne as our guide,

Where our fore-fathers died,

We will fight for the Orange and Blue.

 

Chorus

We'll fight for the Orange and Blue,

We'll fight for the Orange and Blue,

With the Boyne as our guide,

Where our fore-fathers died,

We will fight for the Orange and Blue
