Orange and Blue (V)

When Brethren are met in their orders so grand,
What a beautiful sight for to view.
I was ordered to stand, by a Brother's command,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue

To receive the bright Orange and Blue
To receive the bright Orange and Blue
I was ordered to stand, by a Brother's command,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue

In darkness I entered, the Lord He knows where,
First bound up in chains it is true;
And the shoes from my feet, I did then cast away,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue

To receive the bright Orange and Blue
To receive the bright Orange and Blue
And the shoes from my feet, I did then cast away,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue

A rumbling noise just like thunder I heard,
Presented itself to my view,
You would stand in amazement just to see them proclaim,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue

To receive the bright Orange and Blue
To receive the bright Orange and Blue
You would stand in amazement just to see them proclaim,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue

A glistening light unto me was revealed,
I became a fresh soul, quite anew;
And i'll stand for my cause, my religion and laws,
And i'll die for the Orange and Blue.

And i'll die for the Orange and Blue
And i'll die for the Orange and Blue
And i'll stand for my cause, my religion and laws,
And i'll die for the Orange and Blue

Let's join heart and hand, and like King William stand,
In defence of our cause just and true
Let the Boyne be our guide, where our forefathers died
In defence of the Orange and Blue

In defence of the Orange and Blue
In defence of the Orange and Blue
Let the Boyne be our guide, where our forefathers died
In defence of the Orange and Blue
