Battle Hymns Lyrics

By moonlight we ride
Ten thousand side by side
With swords, drawn held high
Our whips and armour shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now
Chorus:
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Gone are the days when freedom shone
Now blood and steel meet bone
In the light of the battle's wake
The sands of time will shake
How proud our soldiers stand
With mace and chain in hand
Sound the charge, into glory ride
Over the top of their vanguished pride
Chorus:
Victory, victory, Oh !
Victory, victory, Oh !
Victory, victory, Oh !
Victory, victory, Oh !
To the battle we ride
We crossed a starlit sky
No space no time
We'll catch the wind
Strange losses, men died
We crossed a starlit sky
And still no space or time
We'll catch the wind
Chorus:
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Sound the charge, into glory ride
Over the top of their vanguished pride
By moonlight we ride
Ten thousand side by side
Chorus:
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
Kill, kill, Oh !
