On this stage of war
Death is not faux
So we face our foe
Not seeing much more

Than two dozen steps ahead
They stand masked and armed
Both sides will be harmed
And all seem to dread

That call of advance
That surely awaits
We all know the stakes
So we take our stance

Their people, our prince
Did not want this war
But to blood, their king swore
And we could not convince

So here now we stand
Friends and family alike
To be brave and strike
For the bird and the brand.
