Throned upon the wingéd storm,

Fell Desolation rears her ghastly form,

Waves her black signal to her Hell-born brood,

And lures them thus with promised blood:

A. 1.

“Drive, my sons, the storm amain!

Lo, the hated, envied land,

Where Piety and Order reign,

And Freedom dares maintain her stand.

Have ye not sworn, by night and hell,
