lyrics

A sword of light severs the darkness in the east,
Cuts the throat of night where the earth and heavens meet.
The blood of dawn pours bright upon the trembling shields.
Rise, you dogs of war, a hundred thousand, man and beast.

You detonated, once more into the breach,
Chest inflated, lips curled back from the teeth.
What flesh more naked, eyes rolling back in fear,
When blades and arrows seek your end?
Subjugated, what horrors have you seen?
In bloodshed mated; what sorrows and defeats?
So it has been immemorial.

Bucephalus, you were a martyr to your breed,
A legend sung from Macedon to Hydaspes.
An ageless song, you dead two thousand years and more,
Though your frame be gone, yet your name it is immortal.
