Let Hell Ensue

The out is gone, we're overrun, it's 50 to 1, there is no chance left.

The dogs of enemy bark outside the door, soon they'll enter without request

The choices here are fight and die or die with no protest.

Sergeant I know you'll stand your ground until your very last breath

This time we knew we'd face one day has come regardless of consequence 

Let hell ensue with gun and blade, we'll fight until we've nothing left

Duty commands our guns and knives, honour commands our very lives

Soldiers we are - we will face our death through tigers eyes.
