Together till the gallows
With steel in our eyes and iron in our hands
We will worship the sun
Till sundown and the end of the hallowed world
With every bone shattered
Even then, we will gaze toward the horizon
With blood-tears on our cheeks
Grieving for the death of life and the life of death
This, our flag and song
Carried by word and drum, in hearts of children
Remnant hope nourished
By the toil of dreamers and the whispers of lovers
By strife known since the dawn
Of diurnal blood-letting and the ravage of freedom
By men kept by night
Blind by darkness and the falseness of might
But even so, a little light
In the sun-kissed and the hardened wardens of liberty
Here, standing, dauntless
With steel and iron—together till the gallows
