March, Æthelmearc
Music and Lyrics by THL Gwendolyn the Graceful

Cheerly on, bravely on,
Up to the field we go
Marching on, bravely on
For honor and glory to War!
March on, Æthelmearc!
Whose forces are fet for the fight
Turn back the invaders,
The armies and raiders
And stand in power and might.

Marching on, bravely on
Our allies to aid as we go
Cheerly on, bravely on,
And blissfully beat every foe
March on, Æthelmearc!
And boldly hold the field
Our weapons unsheathed
Our full strength achieved;
Our enemy's sure to yield.

Cheerly on, bravely on
Although the weak may fail
Marching on, bravely on
Together we'll prevail
March on, Æthelmearc!
We're sure to win this day
Or if we should die
In our blood we shall lie
Til all flesh pass away

Marching on, bravely on
Never giving ground
Cheerly on, bravely on
Til vict'ry or death we have found
March on, Æthelmearc!
Let us do or die!
The cannon's sharp boom
Means our enemies' doom
Where Æthelmearc's banners do fly!

Cheerly on, bravely on,
Marching on, ever on,
March, Æthelmearc! (3x)
