Fire of Baited Blood

Graven faces gather in the hall

Messengers bring word from the shore

Ill winds behind hostile sails

Black wings approach beyond the pale

Fire of baited blood

A hearth of ancient stone

We must resist, hold fast to this

To keep the spoils of Rome

Fell serpents slink through the reeds

Outriders hunt them unseen

The lord wills bring victory with speed

Bannermen give pledge on bended knee

Fire of baited blood

A hearth of ancient stone

We must resist, hold fast to this

To keep the spoils of Rome

Break the chains of fear

Prepare the course for war

Make no retreat, repeat the feat

Of fathers gone before

May your blade be swift and just to the end

Take our hopes, in you we trust to defend

Win this fight and send them back to the sea

Let them spread the fame of our mastery

Defend!

Fire of baited blood

A hearth of ancient stone

We must resist, hold fast to this

To keep the spoils of Rome

Break the chains of fear

Prepare the course for war

Make no retreat, repeat the feat

Of fathers gone before

Defend!
