MY FAVOURITE LYRICS FOR BATTLE HYMNS

This post is consecrated to the best lyrics I elect as battle hymns. Those I like to sing when I get all revved up and ready to reload! Whether as an LGBTQ crusader, Asperger's crusader, or crusader against bullfighting... My battle hymn consists of the following lyrics!!

Four lines sung by Winifred (JUST THESE FOUR LINES):

Cast off the shackles
Of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder
Into the fray!

Four lines sung by Enjolras (JUST THESE FOUR LINES):

Red! The blood of angry men!
Black! The dark of ages past!
Red! A world about to dawn!
Black! The night that ends at last!

Allons enfants! (Just the first stanza of the French anthem! It was written for kicking Austrian ass in the first place. Not that I have anything against Austrians, but, in the late eighteenth century, Kaiser Leopold went all Oberyn Martell with his dead li'l sis issue against the new French government... and thus, war broke out. So this was the battle hymn of the new French republican state.)

Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé!!
L'étendard sanglant est levé...
Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras,
Égorger nos filles, nos compagnes!

Aux armes citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons!
Marchons, marchons,
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!!!

One for Gustavus Adolphus (Just the first stanza! This was GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS'S battle hymn, sung at Breitenfeld, at the Lech, and at Lützen. And it's in GERMAN [A Swedish version exists as well, but it's far less ominous and sounds far less badass].)

Verzage nicht, du Häuflein klein,
Obschon die Feinde willens sein,
Dich gänzlich zu zerstören,
Und suchen deinen Untergang,
Davon dir wird recht angst und bang;
Es wird nicht lange währen!
