Lyrics

Marching with the he­roes,
Comrades of the strong,
Lift we hearts and voic­es
As we march along;
O the joy­ful mu­sic
All in chor­us raise!
Theirs the song of tri­umph,
Ours the song of praise.

Refrain

Marching with the he­roes,
Comrades of the strong,
Lift we hearts and voic­es
As we march along.

Glory to the he­roes,
Who in days of old,
Trod the path of du­ty,
Faithful, wise and bold;
For the right un­flinch­ing,
Strong the weak to save,
Warriors all and free­men,
Fighting for the slave.

Refrain

So we sing the sto­ry
Of the brave and true,
Till among the he­roes
We are he­roes, too;
Loyal to our cap­tain
Like the men of yore,
Marching with the he­roes,
Onward ev­er­more.
