now in courage harden your heart
that infinite hope in jest refuse depart
and darken thy eye as steel sharpens steel
that fury for good and more righteous things
Make of ye the dust or raise you up to be kings!
But come one, come all, to the challenge before us stood!
The fight for our own, the fight for the common good.
All challengers will we the gauntlet thrown!
No word, nor sling or arrow, or stone
Can strike down this hope that rises, rapturous,
from my beating heart, deep in my bones, my european chest
We kings of kings, the last, the best.
That goodness may not vanish from this darkening world
Europeans! Rise! Shine bright now at the finest hour!
This world, and all its gifts, are ours!
Beneath a sun wheel that turns eternal and forever.
From the hottest south to the coldest north.
From a thousand centuries, to the very now
the fight for self-determination. The glory of our struggle,
nation, people, children, longing to be free.
Against the petty rule of foreigners and slavers tyranny.
How mighty the small european fold
Who across the vast spans of seas and age worn time
Against all reckoning, all comers, has david-like raised its eyes, its head
And stood defiant against the wickedness of lesser men.
We rise, like fire! We rise, We rise, we rise again!
