this is no time to give in to fear.
we have come so far, across so many mountains,
and our journey is about to reach its goal.

you have killed marauding lions and wolves,
you are brave, your heart has been tested in combat.
though your arms feel weak now and your legs tremble,
you are a warrior, you know what to do.
shout out your battle-cry, let your voice pound
like a kettle drum. let your heart inspire you
to be joyous in battle, to forget about death.

we will stamp our fame on mens minds forever.\
