Banners Higher

Shield to shield with banners high 
  War and conquest on their minds 
  Relentless, fearless, battle-scarred 
  To the West the legion marched 

  From triumph to triumph 
  Time and time again 
  Rising through the ranks 
  Young Macsen gained command 

  Sword to sword with banners high 
  Assigned to light the African tribes 
  Relentless, fearless, battle-scarred 
  To the South the legion marched 

  For respect is much harder to earn 
  Beyond the bond forged on the battlefield 
  Friendship makes one weak not strong 
  To do whatever has to be done 

  Side by side with banners high 
  To the last one they would fight 
  Relentless, fearless to the end 
  But none of them he called his friend 

  From triumph to triumph 
  Time and time again 
  Commanding them to certain death 
  He rather wants respect 

  Spear to spear with banners high 
  Assigned to stop barbarian tribes 
  Relentless, fearless, battle-scarred 
  To the Fast the legion marched 

  For respect is much harder to earn 
  Beyond the bond forged on the battlefield 
  Friendship makes one weak not strong 
  To do whatever has to be done 

  Side by side with banners high 
  To the last one they would fight 
  Relentless, fearless to the end 
  Each one of them he called his friend
