Battle Hymn lyrics

By moonlight we ride Ten thousands side by side With swords drawn held high Our whips and armours shine Hail to thee our infantry Still brave beyond the grave All sworn the eternal vow The time to strike is now Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Gone are the days when freedom shone Now blood and steel meet bone In the light of the battle's wake The sands of time will shake How proud our soldiers stand With mace and chain in hand Sound the charge, into glory ride Over the top of the vanquished pride Victory, victory, oh! Victory, victory, oh! Victory, victory, oh! Victory, victory, oh! To the battle we ride We crossed a starlit sky No space no time We'll catch the wind Strange losses, men died We crossed a starlit sky And still no space and time We'll catch the wind Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Sound the charge, into glory ride Over the top of the vanquished pride By moonlight we ride Ten thousand side by side Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh! Kill, kill, oh!
