Each painting soul for vengeance calls
To thee, the God Of light
To all the winds Of heaven throw,

Scatter kings like drifting snow,
And crush their hireling horde,
Destroy the hosts that ravage here,
All i through this sunny land,

Freedom reiributiye hand

Ourglstening swords are scabbard free
Il ltalia--dedth-or liberty.
