Transcription of above for lower voices and instruments by Bill Lewis:


I am the spear that's swift to strike in anger I am the shield that turns all foes away I am the walls raised high against the darkness Standing fast until the day.

One voice, one people and one Empire One throne and one loyalty One will to drive us ever onward One glorious destiny!

I am the iron quarried from the mountains Forged in fire till only steel remains I am the wind that gives the Empire breath and life I am the quick blood in its veins.

One voice, one people and one Empire One throne and one loyalty One will to drive us ever onward One glorious destiny!

I am the flame that burns inside the Empire's heart I am the earth's great bones, steadfast and sure I am the bonds that hold us fast in fellowship That forever will endure

One voice, one people and one Empire One throne and one loyalty One will to drive us ever onward One glorious destiny!
