The trumpets have sounded Their legions advance into war Before us an enemy Of power like none other before For freedom we fight Lest we end enslaved and Dishonored 'Ere facing the shackles Our hands free to deal death at [the] tip of a sword Our armies beaten and scattered Our dead may fill the field But our souls remain Unscathed We may fall but never yield Our hands be cut and piled Our broken knees may kneel But our souls remain unscathed We may fall but never yield Lo!, as these dogs cross the fields Of the lands we call ours since birth Seeking naught but our lands and tribute (knowing) Not the glory that burns in our Blood Our submission purchased At too costly a price Scores of romans impaled By our swords victimized Though our tribes have been vanquished Crushed 'neath sandals of steel The strength of our spirit they're unable to kill
