the honor of my standard my loyalty
where I swore my oath joyfully
I did my duty and smiled with pride
even if it means that i would die

that liberty shines bright so do not fear
sing for me though i couldn't hear
the hour is near for i am to be free
bury whats left under the willow tree

if i die today as a martyr
do not shed to much a tear
as the calm night fades to dusk
tomorrow there will be more of us
