Leading Player 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Praise be to Charles our lord
 	Triumphant is his sword
 	Allegiance is his word
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Blood!
 	Blood is red as sunset
 	Blood is warmer than wine
 	It’s warmer than wine
 	The taste of salty summer brine
 	Steel!
Leading Player, Ensemble Players	Steel!
 	Steel is cold as moonlight
 	Steel is sharper than sight
 	Sharper than sight
 	The touch of bitter winter white
 	
 	Shout it out from the highest tower
 	Shout it out from the darkest hour
 	Charlemagne, you lead us all to power!
 	
Leading Player 	War!
 	War is strict as Jesus
 	War is finer than spring
Leading Player, Ensemble Players	Service to Christ and to our king!
 	Shout it out from the highest tower
 	Shout it out from the darkest hour
 	Charlemagne, you lead us all to power!
 	
 	The gates of Heaven await
 	Thrown wide by Charles the Great
 	We follow him through by serving his
 	State!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
 	Glory!
