The sound of marching hoofs shaking the earth,
Mighty quakes that shall shatter the stillness,
The sound of the strongest and wisest of us heading off to war.
Stones shall be shattered beneath your mighty girth,
You are our mighty guardians of absolute confidence,
None can compare to your pure courage and willingness,
Standing strongest without magic or flight are our holy knights of stone.
Nerves of steel and muscles of iron,
Sinew of brass chains and joints of bronze,
Inspiring your sons and daughters to surpass you,
And your wives will be shining as if each were a beacon.
For them you will strive forward and hold true,
With hearts of fire and souls of diamond,
Lead forth and protect your country and brothers our holy knights of stone.
The mountains shall crumble and be flattened beneath you,
Even the mightiest of stone fortresses shall break apart,
Rivers shall cease their flowing before the works of your heart,
And every land you've never been before shall be bent to your will.
There is no obstacle that cannot be broken,
And there are so many more holes to fill,
With the enemy's rubble and ruin our holy knights of stone.
When the sun shines you will be renewed,
Your mighty charges into the battle will break your foe's spirit,
And your brothers of the sky and magic shall cry out your names,
As the barricades are shattered and hiding places are torn apart.
Many darts shall pierce your hides and yet you shall not fall,
And as you walk amongst splinters with the ashes falling in your manes,
You will know your place is by our side our holy knights of stone.
You thundering behemoths of the earth,
You have rejected the vanities of passing pleasures,
But share in the spoils of the honors and glory that should be your treasures.
Your unholy foes shall fall through the cracks as you break the world apart,
Regretting in earnest that they followed such a godless and unjust cause,
And then you shall fill the cracks with their ruin to silence their petty cries,
And you shall carry onward our holy knights of stone.
The moon rising above is your carrying mother,
Reuniting your brothers at night to protect each other,
Creating an invincible wall of one mind and purpose.
None shall break through your ranks,
You shall hold fast until the sun rises again and you find your enemies spent,
And all your days shall show your country that our freedom is a rent,
Paid by you and your brothers of the sky and magi our holy knights of stone.
One day you'll walk in eternal sunlight after your days of great feats,
The honesty you walked in and the joy you gave,
have earned you your place beyond a simple grave.
Awaiting your friends as you stand on golden streets,
Guarding heaven's gates and welcoming faces that you've longed to see,
Honor shall never be taken from you and your family,
One day perhaps we shall join you too our dear holy knights of stone.
