We Conquer or Die

We Conquer or Die was a rallying song written in early 21 BBY by Lance Corporal Robert G. Yarrow of the 15th Zarkanian Infantry Division, a division of the Confederate States Army, the song was inspired by the battle flag of the division, which was a Blue Star Flag, an unofficial symbol of Confederate independence, inscribed with the motto "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

The tune became popular with the rest of the army, and was included in the patriotic songbook named Patriotic Songs and Anthems of Confederate Earth, a best seller

Lyrics
The war drum is beating, prepare for the fight

the stern bigot Eastmen revel in their might,

grab your bright weapons, your foemen are nigh;

And this be our watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

And this be our watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

The trumpet is sounding from mountain to shore,

your swords and rifles must slumber no more.

Bring forth unto the sunlight your banner on high;

Inscribed with the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

Inscribed with the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

March on to the battlefield, there do or dare,

with shoulder to shoulder, all danger to share,

and let your proud watchword ring unto the sky;

Until the blue arch re-echoes, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

Until the blue arch re-echoes, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

March onward undaunted, no desire of retreat,

the enemy's host on the threshold to meet,

strike firm, 'til the foemen before you shall fly;

Appalled at the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

Appalled at the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

Go forth in the pathway our forefathers have trod,

we too fight for freedom, our Captain is God,

their blood in our veins, with their honour we vie;

Their's too was the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

Their's too was the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

We strike for our West: her mountains, dales and plain,

for our loved West we will conquer, again and again,

her day of liberation, and victory is nigh;

Our's then be the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"

Our's then be the watchword, "WE CONQUER OR DIE!"
