I saw places where opposite armies stood up to the battle In shine of thunderbolts flashing Clashing their weapon and amours In cruel strife On his teed, he lifted his sword our indefatigable and invincible spectator In the longed - for revange hour Our foe returned from escape The larger sworness arousing In out hearts When our swords hit their damn shields Which glitter in fire of fight with bloody flame And enemy's hosts will be crushed filling them up with fear we'll see the victory's sign on our flags
