Original words

Oro! Hear the war horns sounding!
Oro! For the King is calling,
Oro! See the Dragon flying!
To war! Draco Invictus!

Come now horsemen of the grass lands.
Will you stand beside the King when
He goes off to war in far lands?
Your steed and spear make ready!

Oro! Hear the war horns sounding!
Oro! For the King is calling,
Oro! See the Dragon flying!
To war! Draco Invictus!

Bowmen, ever at the Kings side,
A wall of ash your arrows provide
For your liege to turn the war-tide,
No foe will stand before you.

Oro! Hear the war horns sounding!
Oro! For the King is calling,
Oro! See the Dragon flying!
To war! Draco Invictus!

From all regions come brave yeoman,
Swift you’ll draw your swords of steel, then
Every blade will find a foeman.
No doubt you are the King's men!

Oro! Hear the war horns sounding!
Oro! For the King is calling,
Oro! See the Dragon flying!
To war! Draco Invictus!

Knights in fealty bound to your King,
it’s not glory makes your heart sing.
Without your oath, renown means nothing.
Your duty stands before you!

Oro! Hear the war horns sounding!
Oro! For the King is calling,
Oro! See the Dragon flying!
To war! Draco Invictus!

The armored might of Dragon warriors,
Voices raised - a single war host.
Join the King and fight with honor,
Come take your place beside me.

Oro! Hear the war horns sounding!
Oro! For the King is calling,
Oro! See the Dragon flying!
To war! Draco Invictus!
