lyrics

It echoes through land and town
to summon Ares children.
To fight for king and crown
defend your fathers kingdom.
The sound of the clarion
do you feel it in your breast?
That's the barbarian
eager for his quest.

Swollen with pride, fist on the heart,
you feel the spirit of Sparta.
Spellbinder quotes Bonaparte:
“It's cause that makes the martyr.”
Judge, smith or sculptor
now lay down your hammer.
To war for you culture,
your poetry and banner.

Life weighs unmerciful, bending the smith's spine.
Desperation, fear, frustration pours down on his shrine.
Anger breaks out on those who are to blame.
Killing in the name of justice vanishes his shame.

White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!
White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!

Sea of hands stretched to sky,
salute of total allegiance.
Chanting in unison
the vow of obedience.

Such power, no more doubt in that, proves the higher cause
The basement of the conscience rebuild by racial laws

White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!
White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!

Comrade, enlist today! What did you do in the great war?
Come lad, slip across and help! Victory is certain with you on our way!

It echoes through land and town
to summon Ares children.
To fight for king and crown
defend your fathers kingdom.
The sound of the clarion
do you feel it in your breast?
That's the barbarian
eager for his quest.

Life weighs unmerciful, bending the smith's spine.
Desperation, fear, frustration pours down on his shrine.
Anger breaks out on those who are to blame.
Killing in the name of justice vanishes his shame.

White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!
White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!
White feather - say go!
Say go!
Say go!
