I can hear the drums
It's loud in my ears
I can hear the trumpets
Calling out to the soldiers
Charge forward
Battle soldier
Sons of men
Come forward
If we die today we die a glorious death
The battlefield
We sink our swords in it
We all die here
As the war is upon us
Let's chant songs of war
Leading men
To their graveyard
The war has come
Lift up your armour
If we perish
We perish not alone
We perish with our swords
Tell our wives
A message of a dying soldier
If we die today
We die a glorious death
Sing tour heart out
O courageous soldier
We sink
To sink no more
Raise your swords
Let's merry
For we all die today
I see warriors
Courageous warriors
I see soldiers
Perishing to rise no more
The battlefield is ours
Smiting our enemies
But if we die today
We die a glorious death
