Her dark heart smiled
Beckoning them forth
Her name dancing
On silenced tongues

Hail ye! Hail ye!

Row upon blue row they stood
Far as the reach of an eagle’s eye
Loaded carbines on their backs
Allegiance to her their hearts’ tempo

To war! To war!

Their chant rose up
As thousands spoke
With but a single voice
Marching to their doom

To victory! To victory! 

Undefeated in their quest
For land and ill-gotten treasure
As a merciless queen waits
Upon her ageless throne
