Now, across the water seems so close from here Now say goodbye to those so dear There is no providence to me or you We live or die by what we do
Success, of a one-track mind is born, you see That track, neither to the left nor right must be I make a promise to you now You conquer fear you conquer death
Soon, soon we'll be gone A constant desire to move on This battle will never be won Our freedom forsaken This world will awaken To a glorious new rising sun
True as an arrow, so we soldier on Right on across the Rubicon Straight and narrow, any doubts be gone Way on across the Rubicon
So, we may never see our homes again All of our wives and children, all our friends Don't be discouraged, don't lose sight We stand together in this fight
All, is at it seems There's no turning back on this dream After the die has been cast The course is now taken Resolve is unshaken And destiny calls us at last
True as an arrow, so we soldier on Right on across the Rubicon Straight and narrow, any doubts be gone Way on across the Rubicon
And there's no way back from here Over the river to the rising sun Ride on across the Rubicon In waters deep, but we still go on Straight on across the Rubicon
