Shattered lay the battle drum
His final words come forth my son
Pray thee see that my life begins to end
Follow order and fight for common men
Be true to all with the tongue and pen
And all the world will know thy name

Forward the tide of broken years
With his voice lost in the wind
I stand now, the hope of all the martyrs
Through the dark of embattled worlds
Rise I must for all souls unheard
And harken all that call my name

For we will ride on the wings of glory tonight
Above and beyond the Moon to eternal life
And we'll light up the stars in victory tonight
Hear our freedom chime, for the sands of time
Will guide us home

Inner voices calling, there's a light beyond just out of reach
Tread the path of the fallen, never looking back
Step into the fire and the desolate
Behold the angels in light descend
For heaven high has called thy name

For we will ride on the wings of glory tonight
Above and beyond the Moon to eternal life
And we'll light up the stars in victory tonight
Hear our freedom chime, for the sands of time
Will guide us home

Throes of war, the turn of our fortune hangs above my head
Days forlorn I yearn for the home of a life I never lead
But in my heart there burn the siren tones of ire
So I swear by our great astral fire
With honour may my hands forth send
With glory ride until the end

The world stands tall though time gives way
Towards the sky, I turn and hear my father call
Weary king behold life for thee in eternity

For we will ride on the wings of glory tonight
Above and beyond the Moon to eternal life
And we'll light up the stars in victory tonight
Hear our freedom chime, for the sands of time
Will guide us home
