When I was a boy I listened to the stories
Reflecting on childhood, where the narrator heard tales.
Of conquerors and heroes of old
Stories of historical conquerors and heroes.
Tales of adventure and valiant days
Narrative of adventurous and brave days.
Warrior courageous and bold
Praising warriors known for courage and boldness.
Come with me and I'll take you there
Invitation to join the narrator on a journey.
Let's open the book of time
Suggesting exploration of historical events.
Battalions of steel on charging white stallions
Depicting a scene of steel-clad soldiers on horses.
Riding out in the dawn
Imagery of warriors riding out at dawn.
Many will follow and carry the flag

Defenders of faith and the realm

They stand upon the city walls

We hear your gallant voices call
