This is London, this is war
Nothing like we've seen before
1940 World War II
Air raid sirens screaming to warn you
267 nights of straight bombing
40,00 people dead
One million houses children grew up in
Razed by planes overhead
In the shelters down below
We pray for everyone we know
Pledge this oath to our dying day
Save our city come what may
For this is London, this is Bristol
This is Coventry
This is courage, this is spirit
This is bravery
Every night their evil game
Dusk to dawn with deadly aim
Starting with a distant hum
Chasing me but how do I run from
Three hundred bombers
Dropping tons of explosives
Thirty-five seconds to fall
Each one five hundred pounds of destruction
Our names on them all
We stand together arm in arm
From local pub to country farm
Hold our ground for the King and Crown
God save us, God save London Town
For this is Cardiff
This is Plymouth
This is Birmingham
This is valor, this is virtue
This is who I am
This is London
This is war
