The Eastern Tyger's Roar
By Aife ingen Chonchobair in Derthaige (Amanda Lord)

Now heed the call of Queen and King 
as war drums thunder and battle rings. 
Raise your voices and lift your swords; 
the Eastern Tyger is called to war. 

Beat your plowshares into swords, 
black the fields from battle scars. 
Guided by our eastern star, 
hear the Tyger's mighty roar. 
The Eastern Tyger roars!

Now heed the call of Queen and King 
as war drums thunder and battle rings. 
Raise your voices and lift your swords; 
the Eastern Tyger is called to war. 

Bowman loose your arrows swift. 
Foes will shake at blackened sky. 
Sky will sing with fatal gift. 
Guard us with your deadly eye. 
The Eastern Tyger roars!

Now heed the call of Queen and King 
as war drums thunder and battle rings. 
Raise your voices and lift your swords; 
the Eastern Tyger is called to war. 

Swear on chain of honor bright. 
Kneel before your Tyger King, 
Rise! the host of eastern knights. 
Courage stands through anything. 
The Eastern Tyger roars!

Now heed the call of Queen and King 
as war drums thunder and battle rings. 
Raise your voices and lift your swords; 
the Eastern Tyger is called to war. 

Blood of heroes runs through our veins. 
Blood, the price of honor and pride. 
Blood that's shed by battle slain, 
blood that cannot be denied. 
The Eastern Tyger roars!
