1. When war's clamor rises for the nation
The earth quakes and spears flood the streets

2. And under armor dawn emerges
Like morning walking in night's darkness

3. No escape for a commander you oppose
Though into the sky's horizon he fled

4. A fugitive, lost, his place unseen
Darkness, no daylight in the dawn exposed

5. Annihilates what no earlier attained
And if another reached it, he followed then
