n not the mark of the beastA
By marching her power the State to secureB
Of blood imbued wolf of the EastA
The Bulgarian he and Servian dreeB
Such wrongs from their foeman as mightC
Cause stones could they speak to cry 'for theD
weakE
Be thou and for God and the Right 'F
-
Such horrific crimes belong to past timesG
The coldest and hardest heart bleedsH
A blush for our race be crimsons each faceI
When named are the Turk and his deedsH
Too awful are they to utter nor mayJ
Men know them and know a respiteK
From heart ache till they have armed for the frayJ
And battle for God and the RightC
-
An unbounded thirst for lucre accurstC
The helpless must sate even soL
In this should they fail they're fated to wailM
The blood bringing lash of the foeL
In glee will the Turk his victim so workN
Such anguish inflict at the sightC
The veriest serf grasps his sabre resolvedC
To battle for God and the RightC
-
See dearer than life the daughter and wifeO
A prey to the torturer's lustC
The Rayah heart torn yet ridiculed mournP
His losses 'mid ashes and dustC
His dear home despoiled his dear ones defiledC
A wreck what was once his delightC
What wonder if he in delirium fleeQ
To battle for God and the RightC
-
The temple is burned the altar's o'erturnedC
With blood the street runnelets runR
The prey bird and beast hie swiftly to feastC
On corpses that rot in the sunR
The ban dog's harsh tones while crashing theD
bonesS
Are heard by the brave in the nightC
But heard with a cry death to hear and they flyT
To battle for God and the RightC
-
For God and the Right the Rebel States fightC
And whate'er the sequel oh ohL
If thou too must fight for God and the RightC
Fight thou in the vanguard fight thouU
The gold kings may howl and threaten and scowlV
Yet hold to thy purpose and smiteC
Smite thou the proud Turk till he finds 'tis badC
workN
To war against God and the RightC
