Versi
FIGHT FOR RIGHT
Quasi recit. ad lib.
- When thou hearest the fool rejoicing, and he saith, 'It is over and past,
- And the wrong was better than right, and hate turns into love at the last,
- And we strove for nothing at all, and the Gods are fallen asleep;
- For so good is the world a-growing that the evil good shall reap:'
a tempo
- Then loosen thy sword in the scabbard and settle the helm on thine head,
- For men betrayèd are mighty, and great are the wrongfully dead.
Chorus
- Then loosen thy sword in the scabbard and settle the helm on thine head,
- For men betrayèd are mighty, and great are the wrongfully dead.
