Battle Hymn

By moonlight we ride ten thousands side by side

With swords drawn held high our whips and armour shine

Hail to thee our infantry still brave beyond the grave

All sworn the eternal vow the time to strike is now



Gone are the days when freedom shone now blood and steel meet bone

In the light of the battle's way the sands of time will shake

How proud our soldiers stand with mace and chain in hand

Sound of charge into glory ride over the top of their vanguished pride



To the battle we ride we crossed a starlit sky

No space no time we'll catch the wind

Strange losses, men died we crossed a starlit sky

And still no space and time we'll catch the wind
