lyrics
Well the dream first came true two seasons ago,
Runners up in League One but it didn't show,
When the voyage began, only ever sailed once before,
Huddersfield and Watford had a lesson to teach,
But then Wigan and Reading were a stroll on the beach,
Before a top ten finish had the nation's jaws on the floor,
CHORUS
So together we will stand,
With our destiny in our hands,
Red and Black Army sing out,
We are the pride of Dorset's lands,
With that free-flowing passing game,
We'll attack the top-flight all the same,
Here comes Eddie's Army, Champions of the Championship,
In 14/15 we started as we meant to go on,
4-0 opening win, and it wasn't long,
Before the cameras were regular visitors to old Dean Court,
At the top of the pile, we were scoring for fun,
In irrefutable style like 8-0 and 6-1,
With Callum stealing half-a-yard,
Pitman's FIFA in-form card,
Matt Ritchie's League Best Assists,
And international squad short lists,
Records breaking constantly,
FL Award nominees,
And the best leader of the last ten years,
CHORUS
So together we will stand,
With our destiny in our hands,
Red and Black Army sing out,
We are the pride of Dorset's lands,
With that free-flowing passing game,
We'll attack the top-flight all the same,
Here comes Eddie's Army, Champions of the Championship,
And we'll keep the red flag flying high indefinitely,
From Stamford Bridge to the Emirates, Anfield and St Marys,
All it took was six short years of miracles and odds rewrites,
Now England's Great Escapers,
Will have Europe in their sights...
CHORUS
So together we will stand,
With our destiny in our hands,
So together we will stand,
With our destiny in our hands,
Red and Black Army shout out,
We are the pride of Dorset's lands,
Consistency and unbeaten runs,
Are the true hallmarks of champions,
Hear us, Eddie's Army, sing,
Let the fairytale begin,
Because Together Anything Is Possible.
