| The hands of time have spoken for the chosen ones
|
| Cold steel glistens in the dawning sun;
|
| (It's) destiny and claidemaugh that embraces me
|
| All here to sacrifice for victory
|
| Hidden in the shadows when the cold wind comes
|
| .A mist queen dances for her fallen sons
|
| Over and over, her shadow falls over me
|
| Remember no retreat, from here you
|
| Die where you stand
|
| It’s chance that brings the «Rory's» to this
|
| Foreign land
|
| The crimson and the claidemaugh make you
|
| «Strangers to fear»
|
| A thin red streak tipped with a line of steel…
|
| Shadows fall over me
|
| All for the «thin rred line»
|
| All for the thin red line
|
| All for the thin red line …
|
| Now the battles over, Kedikoi can cry; |
| for all
|
| The gallant billmen she’s seen fought and die;
|
| Red is for the heroes;
|
| Green is for the brave;
|
| (Oh!) «Soldiers would you leave me with no souls
|
| To save» |
