Lyrics:

Mine eyes have seen the splendor of the rising of the Crown;
It is forging through the twilight where the fading stars fall down
It has loosed the thundered herald of the Empire’s great renown;
The Empire marches on.

Glory! Glory to the Empire!
Glory! Glory to the Empire!
Glory! Glory to the Empire!
The Empire marches on.

I have witnessed in the watchfires where our sentinel hosts reside;
They have forged a mighty future where our destined stars shall guide;
I can hear the oath of triumph in the winds that sweep the tide;
The Empire marches on.

Glory! Glory to the Empire!
Glory! Glory to the Empire!
Glory! Glory to the Empire!
The Empire marches on.

It has sounded forth the summons that shall never know defeat;
It is weighing every spirit in its timeless judgment seat;
O be swift, my heart, to serve it; let my stride be strong and fleet!
The Empire marches on.

Glory! Glory to the Empire!
Glory! Glory to the Empire!
Glory! Glory to the Empire!
The Empire marches on.

In the dawning of our destiny, our sovereign lights the way;
With a fire born of purpose that no night shall turn astray;
As our forebears bled for glory, so we rise to win the day;
And still we’re marching on.

Glory, Glory to the Empire!
Glory, Glory to the Empire!
Glory, Glory to the Empire!
The Empire marches on.
