Shield upheld, not to surrender!

Stir up from the pressure without,

Raise and upheld, not to doubt,

Neither to worry nor fret in sin,

For the battle is not ours, to win!

Shout and boast, victory prolong,

Then to gain upon the triumph of song!

Charge then forward, take what was heard,

Trust with your heart, every word!

A battle standard there to raise,

All upon a lions shout of praise!

Wrestle well, wrestle strong,

Never give up, no matter how long!

For when the days are dark instead,

And then you face all that you dread,

Remember this upon the path you tread,

Never give up! It will be easier when you're dead!
