Lyrics

Take up your shield and arms
The hour is at hand
Prepare yourself to die with
Kin and countrymen
The faces of the youth
Are pale, laden with fright
Remember why we’re here
Remember why we fight

The battle has begun
Victorious we’ll be
It’s time to stand our ground
We die or we live free
The enemy will fall
And kneel before the king

The battlefield is red
With the blood of our foes
They tire and grow weak
We’ll deal the final blow
The morale of the men
Exuding confidence
Brothers of the sword
We fight till the bitter end

The battle rages on
Victorious we’ll be
It’s time to stand our ground
We die or we live free
The enemy will fall
And kneel before the king

(Surge et sta coram rege)

The kingdom is secure
The battle is complete
The warriors have endured
With glory for the feat
Champions arise
And stand before the king
