Through the Fire

Golden Sphinx on its wings, 
soaring high, soaring high,
smouldering smoke all around,
flying to azure sky.

Gleaming white, the horses neigh
victory be our desire!
strike the cymbals, draw the swords,
let Sun glisten on sapphire!

Chorus 
       through the fire, through the fire! 
       riding through the fields  of fire!


Tarry not, the time is ripe, 
we have all we require,
golden sphinx circles around, 
he is on  to enemy lair.

March on! through blinding smoke, 
know no fear, nor quagmire,
Hope greets, where the brave go,
raise the victory to admire!

Chorus
        through the fire, through the fire 
         riding through the fields  of fire!
