lyrics

Leaving behind a legacy broken
by unloyal worms whose names need not spoken;
the green of our home a swift-fading shore.
In nomine patriae.

A vessel in rot with planks cracked and creaking:
within festers plague infecting our weakest.
The fire in our heads burns forevermore.

Mem’ries of our fatherland:
flame imperishable.
Mem’ries of our kin who’ve died
remain in our hearts, thus we raise up our glass.

Drink, drink, drink to your dead,
for our pride and their glory and things left unsaid.
Drink, drink, drink to your dead,
for our pride and their glory and things left unsaid.

Months have now passed: our numbers diminish.
To heave or to haul th’remains of the vanquished?
There’s valour within our comrades no more.
In nominae patriae.

A well-knowing glance exchanged among kindred,
whose hands fly to hilts, whose eyes burn with vengeance.
“Cowards we’re not: resteer, then, the course!”

Mem’ries of our fatherland:
flame imperishable.
Mem’ries of our kin who’ve died
remain in our hearts, thus we raise up our glass.

Drink, drink, drink to your dead,
for our pride and their glory and things left unsaid.
Drink, drink, drink to your dead,
for our pride and their glory and things left unsaid.

Drink!
Drink!
