Across the skies, the clouds are black
Our Kingdom is under attack!
We built it ourselves ─ this very land
With th' Almighty's guiding hand!

Brothers o' mine
Lift up your arms
We shall fight and win each time
Brothers o' mine
Lift up your arms
From th' burghs to the farms

In battle, may we always be led
By those who for the Kingdom have bled!
And we'll only stop our fighting
At the orders of our King!

Brothers o' mine
Lift up your arms
From th' burghs to the farms

Across the land, the skies are clear
We withheld our fear!
Our fight was brave, and we did win
Safeguarding our kin!

Brothers o' mine
Lift up your arms
We shall fight and win each time
Brothers o' mine
Lift up your arms
From th' burghs to the farms
And we'll sing it one more time!
