Thou on the cross, for you shall fight
Dead arch dead march embattle and fire
Thou on the cross, for you shall fight
Thou on the cross, for you shall die
Thou on the cross, for you shall fight
Thou on the cross, for you shall die
CHORUS
Soldiers be prepared, prepared!
Fight for our cause
Embattle cruel to waste your soul,
Our cause is heaven's cause
Soldiers be prepared, prepared!
Die for an absurd law
Sharp your arm that sharp your heart,
Be worth of our cause
For a voice like thunder and a tongue
To drown the throat of war
When the senses are shaken
And the soul is driven to madness
Who can stand, who can stand
When the souls are torn
