Shield of Faith

On the horizon, the Sun turns to gold
A silent sentinel, a story untold
White mantle flowing, the cross on my chest
A legacy of blood, a soul without rest
Hospitallers, servants of the light
Healing the wounded, through the black of the night
In the lands of Lusitania, where steel is the law
Ready for battle, we fear no flaw

The horn echoes deep through the valley below
Readiness is the breath, the only path we know!

We march in the shadows, guided by light
Warriors of the Order, soldiers of right!
Eternal sacrifice on the fields of war
To defend the life, it's what we're fighting for!
(Uh-uh) hospitallers, standing our ground
(Uh-uh) brave heirs of the crown!

The desert is roaring, the Moor is at hand
Blades gleaming bright o'er the ancient land
Ready for death, yet ready to heal
The shield is our faith, the truth is our steel
Between the altar and the edge of the sword
Vigilant keepers of the word of the Lord
Portugal stands in the glint of the blade
No enemy breaks the vow we have made!

The blood on the stone
The glory on high
Tearing through fate
Under the endless sky!

We march in the shadows, guided by light
Warriors of the Order, soldiers of right!
Eternal sacrifice on the fields of war
To defend the life, it's what we're fighting for!

In a state of vigil
Forevermore
Amen
