Battle Hymn lyrics

written by R. Friedman/J. DeMaio

By moonlight we ride

Ten thousand side by side

With swords drawn held high

Our whips and armours shine

Hail to thee our infantry

Still brave beyond the grave

All have sworn the eternal vow

The time to strike is now

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Gone are the days when freedom shone

Now blood and steel meet bone

In the light of the battle's way

The sands of time will shade

How proud our soldiers stand

With mace and chain in hand

Sound the charge into glory ride

Over the top of the vanguished pride

Victory, victory! Oh...

Victory, victory! Oh...

Victory, victory! Oh...

Victory, victory! Oh...

[slow]

To the battle we ride

We crossed a starlit sky

No space no time

We'll catch the wind

Strange losses, men died

We crossed a starlit sky

And still no space or time

We'll catch the wind

[solo]

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Sound of charge into glory ride

Over the top of the anguished pride

By moonlight we ride

Ten thousand side by side

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...

Kill, kill! Oh...
