lyrics

Here my sword is drawn
Hear the bugle and drum
Bowman stretch your string
Let your arrow sing

Men don’t hide away
As we enter the fray
Let us reason bold
Death will be our gold

Let your heart not dim
Though the toil grim
Drums of battle call
How the mighty fall!

“How can I wear the harness of toil, and sweat in the daily round
While in my soul forever, the drums of Pictdom sound?”
