By moonlight, we ride Ten thousand side by side With swords drawn, held high Our whips and armor shine Hail to thee, our infantry Still brave beyond the grave All have sworn the eternal vow The time to strike is now
Gone are the days, when freedom shone Now blood and steel meets bone In the light of the battle's wake The sense of time will shake How proud a soldier stand With mace and chain in hand Sound the charge into glory ride Over the top of the vanquished pride
To the battle, we ride We crossed a starlit sky No space, no time, we'll catch the wind Strange losses, men die We crossed a starlit sky And still, no space or time, we'll catch the wind
