We're soldiers always steady, soldiers ready for the kill.
With zeal to be our carpet, we step out for the hills.
And we aren't stopping, won't slow to rest our feet.
Our boots are shining brightly; our faces clean and neat.

CH:
The legion is a-marching out, along the burned-out fields,
The heirs of the 3 Houses, we warriors of steel --
On a one and a two, sound off now -- ONE AND A TWO!
Fire runs warm up your spine -- ONE AND A TWO!
And each second one
Heroes like none
Thunder - rolls - our battle cry --
ONE AND A TWO! ONE AND A TWO! ONE AND A TWO!

And all the world's before us; behind us it all burns.
No need to think! Just kill the other side, is what we learn.
We're conquering the Continent, and doing it with glee;
I'm sure the Wise will love to tell their children of our deeds.

It seems that 'sword or fire' has become the highest law.
The king came down among us, just now; we were in awe.
So why have law and order gone so savage and so wrong?
Just ask the heir of Beor, our King Ar-Pharazon!

CH:

With all that we know how to do, no mercy's in our hands.
They fade, the blades of Numenor, when they in scabbards stand.
So let the world burn, and let the widows cry --
Onward the Golden King's legions will stride!

We're highest of the highest, the best that we can be.
Don't look to us for rescue, you mangy Enemy.
A golden collar 'round his neck just like a dog, it's true --
Remember always, Mordor, just what warriors threaten you!

CH:
