The first clarion calls
Commanding the ground
To shake underneath
The phalangites' sandaled feet!
Horses of war
Trampling the earth
Dust clouds doth raise
A halo around the charge!
Pure ran the river
'Ere the clash of the swords
The Nymphs in the water
Shrank back in fear
Alexander shines ahead
Leading the cavalry forth!
A lion of gold
His helmet flashes a roar
Those who stand against him shall
I fall, down where Granicus flows
Where Granicus flows
Red runs the river
Foaming with blood
The Nymphs in the water
Embracing the dead!
The din of arms
Was heard loud and far
Ringing a knell
That sang The Persian in throes!
Barbarians impaled
On Sarissae long
Their poignant screams
Were carried to Abydos' halls!
To Abydos' halls!
Red ran the river
In the battle's wake
Granicus forever
Victory's shrine shall remain!
Alexander triumphant
Raised his broad sword
Hailing the sun
And the eagles aloft!
