Once, there were soldiers,
Who died for us;
They were the brave men,
Who lost their lives for us.
Once, there were fighters,
Who suffered for the cause;
The cause of freedom,
For all Filipnos.
They were the heroes,
Who freed us from chains.
Battles they fought,
Never counting the cost;
They offered their own lives,
So ours, would not be lost.
There could have been,
No country of our own;
No land, if not for them,
We can call our home.
But they are gone now,
To great beyond;
Gone from this homeland,
Which marked their bravest stand.
Gone from this valley,
Where blood of valiants flowed;
Could we forget them,
And the values they sowed?
Dear are the heroes,
Who freed us from chains.
