Hymn

Ich bin das Schwert, ich bin die Flamme

I am the Sword, I am the Flame.

I have lit you through the darkness; and when the battle began, I fought in the first rank and led you on. . . .
Round about me lie the bodies of my friends, but we have triumphed. We have triumphed — but round about me lie the bodies of my friends. Amid the jubilant songs of victory the dirge of the funeral is heard. But we have neither time for rejoicing nor for sorrow. The trumpets are sounding again — there shall be new and holier battles. . . .

I am the Sword, I am the Flame!
