The Confederate Infantry Song

The Confederate Infantry Song was a patriotic song written by a citizen of the Confederate States of Earth, a nation of 95 breakaway nations of Earth which seceded from the Union of Earth States in early 21 BBY and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The song was set to the tune of an old folk tune from the Zarkan Kingdom, and was written as an ode to the infantry of the Confederate States Army, and how they battle and defeat their enemies.

The song was included in the patriotic songbook titled Patriotic Songs and Anthems of Confederate Earth.

Lyrics
For battle prepared in our Confederacy's just cause,

Jane Zarkan to defend, and support all our laws;

As fierce as the dragon, as swift as the roe,

Our Confederate infantry rush on our foe!

Though Easties unnumbered oppose their career,

Their hearts are undaunted, they're warriors to fear,

No obstacles to hinder, relentless they go,

and death and destruction accompany every blow!

Across the deep-gullied dale, and up the mountain's steep side,

Through the rough roaring river's vigorous tide,

O'er the fortified redoubt, close wedged in array,

Regardless of safety they follow their prey.

The music of the drum and the cannon's loud roar;

The rifle's quick flash, but inflames them the more.

No dangers appal, they have no fear of their toll,

For God and our Nation inspire every soul!

Whenever their foe is revealed upon their sight,

with ardour impatient they long for the fight;

rout, havoc, confusion they spread through the field,

their tyranny and Williams are forced to yield!
