*Guided by a spirit that never falls*

*Fended off their foes*

*And valiantly the people rose*

*In the forests and caves from Milet to Shamrock*

*The Kaerfels banner waves,*

*To their shields they flock*

*Behind the beauty of the land*

*Lies the might of the fourteen*

*Tyraxes' soil so grand*

*And the hills sap green*

*they will fight and not grow weary,*

*they will walk and not be faint."*
