Hymn to Vigilance

Original tune Akk Fader. Very quiet recording of original here.

I arm myself with sword and shield To take the battlefield And daily armed with faith I go To face a subtler foe An empire pure and whole  Must ever be our goal O let me ever vigilant stand Defending faith and land

False doctrines and deceitful words Across the lands are heard And all our sacrifice has bought In the end shall be for nought, If malcontents and fools And raised on high to rule O let me ever vigilant stand Defending faith and land.

These words shall ever be our charge Upon our souls writ large The Empire is our destiny Its guards and lords are we For should we ever fail The darkness shall prevail O let me ever vigilant stand Defending faith and land
