Glory to our clans. . Eyes shine brightly, teeth are bared, Valor in every breath. Honor flows through every vein, Strength in every step. Courage unsheathed with steel spine, As rank upon rank give voice. And charge ahead to meet the foe, In battle swift and bright. . Ha-urr! We march, Today, we fight. Glory to our race! .
