Argus - By Endurance We Conquer lyrics

1914, in voyage from England 28 cast their fear to the gods Poised to conquer the frost covered base of the Earth At 6 months ensnared in a solid sea prison Men and ship are beset on all sides Abandon all hope - what the ice gets it keeps for its own To the lifeboat, the James Caird, went six men For 17 days facing Poseidon’s wrath On the shores of South Georgia they settled at last Now to traverse the hazardous landscape Over mountains and glaciers they’d fight Into Stromness where hope was now finally in sight So far away - we lost no faith – in unity, in bravery, in honor As one we’d live, as one we’d die and by endurance we conquered 1916 on August the 30 28 reunited again Against all the odds they had outrun the cold clutch of d**h So far away - we lost no faith – in unity, in bravery, in honor As one we’d live, as one we’d die and by endurance we conquered
