Undefeated

THL Lucia Elena Braganza

Yes we may die but we die with our teeth in their throats
Yes we may die but we die with their blood on our swords
Yes we may die but we die with our name on their lips
Yes we may die and the reaper is near
and he cuts a great swath and he claims a great tithe but he's ours
so we stand by his side with no fear and
Yes we may die but we know it and we can die well

Yes we may die but we die with the wind in our eyes
Yes we may die but we die with the drums in our veins
Yes we may die but the war horns still howl and we rise
Yes we may die but we die in our prime
and old age can not wither our arms or our blades or our pride
and our legends last long past old men, so
Yes we may die but we know it and we can die well

Yes we may die but mere death is not always defeat
Yes we may die but mere life is not all we can win
Yes we may die but the blood of our line never pales
Yes we may die and leave sweethearts behind,
but leave sons and leave daughters to take up the sword and revenge,
and our memories will push them like fire, so
Yes we may die but we know it and we can die well

Yes we may die but we die on our feet, not our knees
Yes we may die but we die in our lines, not our beds
Yes we may die and the doors of Valhalla swing wide
Yes we may die but the short road to glory
is paved with our blood and the foes' broken swords and it's ours
and the stars will blaze bright with our deeds, so
Yes we may die but we know it and we can die well
Yes we may die but we know it and we can die well.
