Giving praises to His name,
And sing of our joy and Hallelujah,
Giving praises to His name,
God save The Emperor.
Giving praises to His name,
And sing of our joy and Hallelujah,
Giving praises to His name,

We fight for what is justly right,
And we shall show our great might,
We will defend against our many foes,
And we shall show that we are the truly righteous.
Giving praises to His name,
And sing of our joy and Hallelujah,
Giving praises to His name,
God save The Emperor.
Giving praises to our name,
And sing of our joy and Hallelujah,
Giving praises to our name,

We fight for what is justly right,
And we shall show our great might,
We will defend against our many foes,
And we shall show that we are the truly righteous!
Giving praises to His name,
And sing of our joy and Hallelujah,
Giving praises to His name,
God save The Emperor!
