O say, can you hear, through the march of the years, The resounding decree of design? Where the gears ever turn and the engines all burn, In the name of a will so divine. Through the smoke and the flame, rose the conqueror’s claim, And the old world was cast in his mold, Now the banner of brass, o’er the ranks it does pass, Glows resplendent in glory untold! Oh, the banner of brass, may it gleam as it flies, O’er the land bound in order and might! Where the staff’s shining field and its power revealed, Turns the darkness of chaos to light. March on, march on, let the great brass engines roar, Let the drums of dominion resound! All hail Nemesis’ reign, everlasting and sure, While his clockwork keeps time all around! In the year forty-five, all his soldiers came alive How the tides of all history turned, When the eagle was stilled by a far greater will, And the fires of rebellion were burned. No fortress could stand, nor defy his command, For his shields weathered the fury of war, And his legions advanced as if they were entranced, Till resistance would rise nevermore! Oh, the banner of brass, may it gleam as it flies, O’er the land bound in order and might! Where the staff’s shining field and its power revealed, Turns the darkness of chaos to light. March on, march on, let the great brass engines roar, Let the drums of dominion resound! All hail Nemesis’ reign, everlasting and sure, While his clockwork keeps time all around! Let the horns proudly sound, let the ranks stand unbound, In precision no error can stain, Every step, every breath, now defiant of death, Moves in rhythm to his perfect reign! Oh, the banner of brass, may it gleam evermore, As it shines through the ages of time! With the power he wields and the future he seals, In a cadence unbroken, sublime! March on, march on, let the great brass engines roar, Let the drums of dominion resound! All hail Nemesis’ reign, everlasting and sure, While his clockwork keeps time all around!
