The Battle Call of Alliance
R. De Koven
Awake! Awake! The winds of dawn
Blow fire across the world;
The ships go forth where dangers spawn
And coils of death are curled;
And souls of men go forth with them
And hearts of men aspire,
New kindled by the ancient flame
Of man's immortal fire.
Arise! Renew with nobler dreams
The faith we name our own;
The bugle calls to vaster schemes
Which God hath dreamed alone.
To save a planet's liberties
He joineth now our hands,
With brothers fighting over-seas
Among the ruin'd lands.
To arms! To arms for freedom,
And end the reign of czars!
America, America
Unfurls her flaming stars!
To arme! To arms for freedom,
And end the reign of czars!
America, America
Unfurls her flaming stars!
