Our banner flying, waves and rouses, a loud and boisterous bluster,

In those whose sense of right is strong, towards military muster.

The distant sound of beating drums, is but a whisper now,

But who will take the soldier’s place, when faced with darkest hour?

When you have walked in a soldiers shoes, with gun and armament at hand.

Just stop, relent, reflect, and pause, then take your patriotic stand!

Oh patriot, oh patriot hear country’s call to arms.

For those whose will is wont towards war,

Take up your arms and fight,

Lead the fray yourself my friend, towards military might!
