MARTYRS IN TRIUMPH

“Before you, Your Highness”
We bow humbly
Not retreating but greeting
As the ball awaits….

Rouse Up
Rouse Up
Young warriors all
Throughout the world
We conquer or crawl
For His Majesty
We stand to thrust
The sword of justice
And forward we charge
Holding the pride
‘of Knighthood
‘and Martyrdom
And will only return
When Kingdom comes
Rouse Up
Rouse Up
Warriors of Faith
Let the Princesses
Shower us with rose petals
‘lavender and
‘mahogany scent
For there may never be this chance
As vengeance awaits
Rouse Up
Rouse Up
Young martyrs all
For we may yet live
To end the dire straits
And rule the land
with sovereignty
‘loyalty
‘and prosperity
