📋 Lyrics

Let's hear tales from days of old,
Of clashing steel, in history's hold.
Of honor, (of glory), of graves, (of saves),
Of dust, (of blood), of braves, (of knaves).
A sacred tune for Winkelried's might,
His valor echoes, in Swiss light.

At Sempach, in that humble town,
Many knights once mocked, looked down.
The army trampled fields of grain,
But a hero's warning broke disdain.

From days of yore, a prophecy saw,
In crimson hues, grows fate's grim draw.
With morning light, the blood shall pour,
As Swiss resolve, their valor roar.

(Hear the roar!)

Swissblood runs deep, in every stride we keep,
Through valleys low, and mountains steep,
Flowing deep within is a legacy to sow,
Swissblood, our courage, it will never go.

(Never go!)

Into the fray they bravely tread,
In heated battle, when skies bled red.
In armor clad, fearsome to behold,
Stood Austria's practiced warriors bold.

Yet death soon cools their martial flame,
In Swiss veins, our nation's name.
But from the embers, courage soars,
In every soul, their legacy roars.

(Hear the roar!)

Swissblood runs deep, in every stride we keep,
Through valleys low, and mountains steep,
Flowing deep within is a legacy to sow,
Swissblood, our courage, it will never go.

(Never go!)

With fearless hearts, they charge ahead,
With bravery and their will to shed.
Their blood on fields, in war's grim dance,
Echoes deep with death's dark trance.

The army fights, the danger grows,
Many fall to the spear's swift blows.
Through valor's call, they stand as one,
Their deeds shall echo when they're done.

In fervent plea, he guards his kin,
With strength and valor deep within.
Struthan grim, spear thrust with might,
Defends his own in fiercest fight.

Carving fate with freedom blessed,
His sacrifice in legend dressed.
Over comrades' fallen forms,
Heroes stride through battle's storms.

Swissblood runs deep, in every stride we keep,
Through valleys low, and mountains steep,
Flowing deep within is a legacy to sow,
Swissblood, our courage, it will never go.

(Never go!)

Blades glint bright, helmets shine,
In courages glow, their foes pine.
Hearts ablaze, (spirit soars),
Bravery reigns, (honor roars).
Victory's cry from peaks to shores.

(Hear the roar, forevermore!)
