Occidental Occultation
Wrapped in dawn's chilly mantle
Ranged against despotic hordes
Ill wind condensed on our breath
Close to stir divers banners
Fluttered in unison without the gloom
Over anxious chatter in barbarous tongue
Smoke ascends innumerable camps
Bright columns reprising wisdom's temple
Dissipated in the murk
Lifted night glimpses exotic myriads
Deviant forms of odious complexion
Laid naked our valour of quixotic passion
Indolent in nescient ambition
Glorying on tumult
Proud with honour
Roused to slaughter
Despising life sundered from freedom
Lowering clouds break in torrents
Blood soaked deluge invests earth
Enveloping sky in preternatural night
Dark with death
Rent with groans
Exhausted against irreducible wall
Indomitable phalanx bristles pikes
Dauntless on despair
Ebullient cry of liberty
Tempered with martial obedience
To advance over numbered
Reckless against the shock
Venerable dominion overthrown by vulgar enthusiasm
Exalts on fortune's vicissitude
Valiant commander seduced by Oriental surfeit
Mannered as a God
To perpetuate the East
Servile lascivious effete
In this fold find peace
In the other total war
Which now do you choose?
Whichever you will
And he shakes out the fold of war
Uukhai!
Ranged against despotic hordes
Ill wind condensed on our breath
Close to stir divers banners
Fluttered in unison without the gloom
Over anxious chatter in barbarous tongue

Lifted night glimpses exotic myriads
Deviant forms of odious complexion
Laid naked our valour of quixotic passion
Indolent in nescient ambition
Glorying on tumult
Proud with honour
Roused to slaughter
Despising life sundered from freedom
Lowering clouds break in torrents
Blood soaked deluge invests earth
Enveloping sky in preternatural night

Exhausted against irreducible wall
