1. Unfurl the silken banners, and raise them to the sky
Lift up the golden trumpets, and let their voices cry.
Form up the bold battalions; Send our bravest to the fore.
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
Meridies, we stand ready for the fight!
We hold our ground, and we bleed in black and white.
Meridies, send our bravest to the fore.
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
2. The King and Queen have sent the call to fighters of the realm
To polish up their armor and their sword and shield and helm.
Our warriors all stand ready; You can hear their voices roar.
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
Meridies, we stand ready for the fight!
We hold our ground, and we bleed in black and white.
Meridies, you can hear their voices roar.
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
3. See how the sunlight glitters on the point of every spear.
Feel the ancient heartbeat of the land we hold so dear
Heed the call that echoes from the mountains to the shore
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
Meridies, we stand ready for the fight!
We hold our ground, and we bleed in black and white.
Meridies, from the mountains to the shore,
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
4. Our army has assembled, rank on rank, and shield to shield,
And none can stand against us when our finest take the field
Let the love for our fair kingdom fill our hearts forevermore.
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
Meridies, we stand ready for the fight!
We hold our ground, and we bleed in black and white.
Meridies, fill our hearts forevermore,
And all the world shall tremble when Meridies goes to war.
