The war drove our army south
To fight an invincible foe
We were left without a choice
But it was our only hope
Fight now, fight hard,
Fight till the very end
Our hopes were dashed
When our flanks were crushed
Our blood turned stale
And cold when we faced the giants of old
Fight now, fight hard,
Fight till the bitter end
And now we're returning home
To the lands of our fathers
Where up high in the clear blue sky,
The glorious falcons fly
We'll find last solace in the arms
Of our beloved wives
Just to see our children cry
When we lay down
Although our fates were sealed
And our dreams lie shattered
By the poison that courses through our veins
We burned the bridge on our retreat
Tto buy the time we need
Our only hope is
That our efforts were not in vain
Yet our fate was cruel to us
As the fire spread to the forest nearby
In our haste to delay our enemies'
Advance we've brought our country to ruin
And now we're returning home
To the lands of our fathers
Where up high in the clear blue sky,
The glorious falcons fly
We'll find last solace in the arms
Of our beloved wives
Just to see our children cry
When we lay down to die
By our blood and lives
Our families are spared
To set sail towards the distant shores
Of the lands to the north
