By moonlight we ride ten thousands side by side With swords drawn held high our whips and armour shine Hail to thee our infantry still brave beyond the grave All sworn the eternal vow the time to strike is now Gone are the days when freedom shone now blood and steel meet bone In the light of the battles way the sands of time will shake How proud our soldiers stand with mace and chain in hand Sound of charge into glory ride over the top of their vanguished pride To the battle we ride we crossed a starlit sky No space no time well catch the wind Strange losses, men died we crossed a starlit sky And still no space and time well catch the wind
