hail, son of heaven glorious!
long life! a thousand more!
always to be victorious
every battle, every war!
hail, hail the all-beneficient!
play drums and trumpets loud!
sing, sing, you are an instrument
raise your voice among the crowd
play, play the never-ending song
loud, loud for all to hear!
bow lowers as we march along
throw hats aloft and cheer!
hail, son of heaven glorious!
long life! a thousand more!
always to be victorious
every battle, every war!
always to be victorious
every battle, every war!
