Wrapped in dawn’s chilly mantle Ranged against despotic hordes Ill wind condensed on our breath Close to stir divers banners Fluttered in unison without the gloom Over anxious chatter in barbarous tongue
Smoke ascends innumerable camps Bright columns reprising wisdom’s temple Dissipated in the murk Lifted night glimpses exotic myriads Deviant forms of odious complexion
Laid naked our valour of quixotic passion Indolent in nescient ambition Glorying on tumult Proud with honour Roused to slaughter Despising life sundered from freedom
Lowering clouds break in torrents Blood soaked deluge invests earth Enveloping sky in preternatural night Dark with death Rent with groans Exhausted against irreducible wall
Indomitable phalanx bristles pikes Dauntless on despair Ebullient cry of liberty Tempered with martial obedience To advance over numbered Reckless against the shock Venerable dominion overthrown by vulgar enthusiasm
Exalts on fortune’s vicissitude Valiant commander seduced by Oriental surfeit Mannered as a God To perpetuate the East Servile lascivious effete
In this fold find peace In the other total war. Which now do you choose?” Whichever you will And he shakes out the fold for warTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
