They are giving their lives for Democracy cause And will fight to the end for it's justice and laws. They mean that German shall e'er invade Britain That their victory shall be on historys page written It was you that begun this horrible war

We will fight with the strength that right gives Till we conquer the House of the Hohenzoeren. We have marshaled many mions-more millions have Who will fight for their country and sweet liberty. They fear not the foe how ger great he may be, They have faith in their and great victory.
