We climbed the mountains as days went by
Many weeks we counted, flag hoisted high
And we thought of others who stayed at home
Cascadian brethren were not alone

Grab my hand, march the path
Across the land, be my epitaph
Dawn
Dawn of refusal, resistance and lore
Dawn of your God, existent no more

Lonely searchers, we seek our foe
Left by time, fate already sewn
No wish for glory, but death not alone
The flag-swathed are returning home

Grab my hand, march the path
Across the land, be my epitaph
Dawn
Dawn of refusal, resistance and lore
Dawn of your God, existent no more

Take our favors of hazel and pine
This land is our blood, you will never die
Not alone
Immortal in earth
Raise your banner bloodstained with hope
Sun and rain sacrifice, death feeding life
Your gift
Immortal freedom

Grab my hand, march the path
Across the land, be my epitaph
Dawn
Dawn of refusal, resistance and lore
Dawn of your God, existent no more
