Storms of winter cannot shake us As to war we go Thirst and hunger never break us Onward through the snow

Home and hearth we leave behind us As to war we go Those we love and ties that bind us Onward through the snow

Foul enchantments cannot charm us As to war we go Nor can curse or witchcraft harm us Onward through the snow

At our footfall all shall fear us As to war we go Foes will quail to venture near us Onward through the snow

If I fall upon the morrow As to war we go Raise a cup for me in sorrow Onward through the snow

Though cruel death may yet divide us As to war we go Fallen heroes march beside us Onward through the snow

Hail to those who went before us As to war we go Join me now in rousing chorus! Onward through the snow
