They called us "Hatemakers", "the Hardworkers" And many names more There were times when we didn't know What we've been called before But time will heal all wounds, as they say and so we take it We've been and will forever be "Hendricks the Hatmaker" We travelled to the north, played in a smuggler's forest We spent nights and nights in smelly pubs And danced with some pirates We woke up and went on, as long as one of us could drive We loved what we did, this band it was our life So raise your glasses and join us to sing along Let's sing for what's behind and what's still to come So raise your glasses, may you be happy or sad Here's to all the living and the dead! Moments become memories, and memories remain So I swear from today until I die I will always remember you my friend, you're in my heart And tears will be washed with a smile So raise your glasses and join us to sing along Let's sing for what's behind and what's still to come So raise your glasses, may you be happy or sad Here's to all the living and the dead! So raise your glasses and join us to sing along Let's sing for what's behind and what's still to come So raise your glasses, may you be happy or sad Here's to all the living and the dead! Here's to the memories, here's to all the songs To the evenings we spent, and to the stories we told Here's to all the friends we found on the road And here's to you, my friend!
