Original Lyrics (by Hilary Bader)
- Hear! Sons of Kahless.
- Hear! Daughters too.
- The blood of battle washes clean
- The Warrior brave and true.
- We fight, we love, and then we kill.
- Our lives burn short and bright,
- Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet where
- we battle forever, battling on through the Eternal fight.
