LYRICS

The war drum is beating Prepare for the fight! The stern bigot Northman Exults in his might Gird on your bright weapons Your foe men are nigh And this be our watchword, "We conquer or die!" And this be our watchword, "We conquer or die!" The trumpet is sounding From mountain to shore Your swords and your lances Must slumber no more! Fling forth to the sunlight Your banner on high! Inscribed with the watchword: "We conquer or die!" Inscribed with the watchword: "We conquer or die!" March on to the battlefield, There to do or to dare With shoulder to shoulder All danger to share And let your proud watchword Ring up to the sky Till the blue arch re-echoes, "We conquer or die!" Till the blue arch re-echoes, "We conquer or die!"
