Be born you were ready to fight,
You saw the path towards the light,
He taught you not how to cite,
But taught you only how to bite.
Walk forward forever without doubt,
Be the hero of this bout,
March straight along the rocky route,
And question not simply carry out.
Catch not the call of the wicked ones,
Hear not the thundering of thy guns,
Let not sway the sounds of our horns or drums,
But please do hear the cries of sons.
Be ready to die he was not,
For now his brothers lie and rot,
Forever now the blood will clot,
Be ready to die he was not.
