Thou on the cross, for you shall fight Thou on the cross, for you shall die
Thou on the cross, for you shall fight Thou on the cross, for you shall die
CHORUS Soldiers be prepared, prepared! Fight for our cause Embattle cruel to waste your soul, Our cause is heaven's cause Soldiers be prepared, prepared! Die for an absurd law Sharp your arm that sharp your heart, Be worth of our cause
For a voice like thunder and a tongue To drown the throat of war When the senses are shaken And the soul is driven to madness Who can stand, who can stand When the souls are torn
