Proudly the stronghold's powerful walls Are rising to the thundery sky Towers and flags are almost appearing To touch the mighty dark threatening clouds Built on a high elevation of rock It never has been in the enemy's hands Proudly the stronghold's powerful walls Are rising to the thundery sky From the towers the iron-clothed knights Are able to watch for miles and miles Built with the loss of hundreds of men It must not fall into the enemy's hands Proudly the stronghold's powerful walls Are rising to the thundery sky From far away the watchers perceive The forward movement of hostile troops Built of granite-blocks with hundreds of pounds Sweat and blood flow through many decades Each soldier has sworn to defend it till death It never will fall into the enemy's hands!
