letra de blood river miracle - john edmond
we have rode around this earth seeking peace and prosperity
and that’s why we voortrekkers came to this land
retief our envoy to dingane was k!lled with savage treachery
now that zulu king has blood upon his hands
he sent his k!lling impis to bloukrans drift and weenen
women and children they had no place to run
in pursuit in an ambush we lost from our commando
eight hors-m-n piet uys and dirkie his son
[chorus]
but the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
never be forgotten to the lord we made a vow
the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
he delivered us then, he’ll deliver us now
then against voortrekker wagons in a circle in a laager
the impis came again but they could not win the day
seeking vengeance pretorius with sixty-four wagons
and four hundred and seventy of his best men rode away
reverend cilliers said “lord we make this covenant before ye
deliver us as we ride into the deep dark veil of death
we will build you a temple to stand in your honor
and this day forever as another sabbath we pledge”
[chorus]
but the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
never be forgotten to the lord we made a vow
the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
he delivered us then, he’ll deliver us now
from afar we saw their horde of zulus approaching
fifteen thousand warriors it was an awesome sight
we set laager on the banks of the ncome river
and thought they would attack us in the dark of that night
but the moon came down and the lanterns on our whipsticks
looked like rings around a hundred moons up in the skies
the enemy then were filled with deep superstition
held off their attack till the sun began to rise
[chorus]
but the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
never be forgotten to the lord we made a vow
the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
he delivered us then, he’ll deliver us now
their battle trumpets sounded that wild [?]
four times they charged our laager but in vain
into bristling shields and spears rode our hundred flying hors-m-n
from muskets and our cannon shots fell on them like rain
when they stormed the steep banks of the ncome river
with feathered flags and assegais through water smoke and mud
our firing cut a swathe of death through those valiant warriors
and the waters of that river flowed scarlet with their blood
[chorus]
but the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
never be forgotten to the lord we made a vow
the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
he delivered us then, he’ll deliver us now
[chorus]
but the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
never be forgotten to the lord we made a vow
the blood river miracle will never be forgotten
he delivered us then, he’ll deliver us now
