Because they killed our leaders, they think our hearts are weak.

But, it is they - they’ll find this day - whose prophecy is bleak.

Our foes will fear when we are near, once the battle starts.

As they come toward us, the gods reward us, ‘cause we have stouter hearts.

Stouter Hearts

Stouter Hearts

That’s how we’ll prevail.

Stouter Hearts

Stouter Hearts

And, we can never fail.

We’ll march without belongings, we’ll leave them all behind.

But, we’ll endure, our path is clear, we’ll live on what we find.

We have the means, we are Hellenes, as the name imparts.

Though they will mock us, they cannot stop us, ‘cause we have stouter hearts.

Stouter Hearts

Stouter Hearts

That’s how we’ll prevail.

Stouter Hearts

Stouter Hearts

And, we can never fail.

Pray that Tyche won’t forsake us,

remove the doubts that try to shake us.

It’s not the numbers or the strongest,

Who’s willing to die might live the longest.

With anticipation Xenophon thus spoke.

Filled with inspiration his men he did evoke.

They need resolve and fortitude, for years across the land,

Ready to move forward, their journey now began.

Stouter Hearts

Stouter Hearts

That’s how we’ll prevail.

Stouter Hearts

Stouter Hearts

And, we can never fail.
