You heard the armies marching in the darkness
of the night,
You faced the red-hot cannons in the valiant
freedom fight,
You saw the death bombs dropping in the dusk
before the dawn,
And your stalwart fight for freedom went ever
bravely on...
You dodged the burning bullets and the
roaring army tanks,
Defeating the mortal enemy with soldiers
tightly ranked.
And the anguish of your "Heart's
Call" echoes still "Liberty's cry"
To be heard by all who honour truth and value
freedom high.
