Blue Knight Song (original lyrics; see description)

In honor of ADDU high school batch 1977

Lyrics:

Underneath the cloudless sky
Let your banners flutter high
With flashing steel and ringing shield
Let us sweep the battlefield
With visor high and sword in hand
Come, blue knight, take your stand
Be men of virtue, tried and true
In your armor white and blue.

Chorus:
Then on, you knights of Davao
To God's high command your hearts bow
Go onward, on to the fight
Where glory is shining bright
O shake the mountains with your song
And with your banners march along.

Onward speed, you gallant knight
Trusting God, proclaim the right
The clash of battle is sweet to hear
When the victory is near
So grateful sons spread o'er the land
To the farthest ocean strand
And sing aloud the hallowed fame
Of our Ateneo's name.

(Repeat chorus)
