Stalk like the tyger treads through the night
\nfollow the purple and gold glitt’ring bright
\nOur king leads the field as we march to the war
\nThe like that no other has seen yet before<\/p>\n
Our queen holds our love in veils of gold thread
\nWe shall follow her standard until we are dead
\nLucan and Jana but give your command
\nAnd the crows shall dine well in this part of the land.<\/p>\n
With honor, to glory, eyes burning aflame
\nTighten your helm as you rush into fame
\nFor the battles are many and the war it is long
\nBut those without fear are remembered in song!<\/p>\n
Take up the pike and the spear and the sword
\nLet the wheat lay as you swear on the word
\nfighting for kingdom, for hearth and for home
\nBretheren all, we n’ere fight alone<\/p>\n
Follow the banners and steel yourself here
\nFocus your mind and your arm against fear
\nWe all wear the blue but treasure the red,
\nAnd take death on the field before death in our beds.<\/p>\n
With honor, to glory, eyes burning aflame
\nTighten your helm as you rush into fame
\nFor the battles are many and the war it is long
\nBut those without fear are remembered in song!<\/p>\n
Forget all you know but remember your King
\nFor as long as he stands we still have every thing
\nHonor your love but take arms for your Queen
\nFight like the tyger whose cubs have been seen.<\/p>\n
With honor, to glory, eyes burning aflame
\nTighten your helm as you rush into fame
\nFor the battles are many and the war it is long
\nBut those without fear are remembered in song!<\/p>\n
