Could be that the the columns which halt here
|
That these endless rows of men
|
are scattered in the wind, split up and disperse
|
and will desert me, could be, could be
|
|
my lips may stammer mad words
|
but the flag will only fall when I fall
|
and be a shroud, covering my corpse
|
|
Obedience unto death - never to fall aside
|
forever to stride
|
on deaths wings they ride
|
|
We must be dominated by one will
|
we must form one unity
|
we must be held together by one discipline
|
and form one obedience
|
|
Forwards, forwards call the fanfares
|
for the last time the reveille has sounded
|
for battle sees us stand in stern array
|
|
obedience unto death....
|
|
I shall remain faithful, even though deserted by all
|
I shall carry the flag, staggering and alone
|
|
We march into eternity
|
for our banner is greater than death
|
|
behold the knight in solemn black manner
|
with a skull on his crest and blood on his banner
|
|
in black we are dressed
|
in blood we are drenched
|
with a death's heads on our collars
|
we stand unshaken
|
|
Obedience
