As the sun rises we cast aside sleeping<br>
<br>
Roused by the war horn we greet glorious day<br>
A breakfast of biscuits with shoulder companions<br>
Elated are we to face battle's fray<br>
<br>
_Thrice joyous are we who follow the falcon<br>
<br>
Thrice joyous are we wherever we roam<br>
Thrice joyous are we Who don gold and purple<br>
Thrice joyous are we who call Heartland home._<br>
<br>
At the sun's zenith the vanguard advances<br>
<br>
Fierce golden falcon in unbroken wall<br>
Defeat or sweet vict'ry we share as a family<br>
With our shield brothers we stand or we fall<br>
<br>
_Thrice joyous are we who follow the falcon<br>
<br>
Thrice joyous are we wherever we roam<br>
Thrice joyous are we Who don gold and purple<br>
Thrice joyous are we who call Heartland home._<br>
<br>
At the sun's ebbing we march back to warcamp<br>
<br>
Winded from warfare yet still we sing loud<br>
A hot cup of soup is the soldier's ambrosia<br>
We tell tales of comrades of whom we are proud<br>
<br>
_Thrice joyous are we who follow the falcon<br>
<br>
Thrice joyous are we wherever we roam<br>
Thrice joyous are we Who don gold and purple<br>
Thrice joyous are we who call Heartland home._<br>
<br>
In the sun's absence we gather together<br>
<br>
With voices conjoined we take up the song<br>
Disaster or triumph we sing with same vigor<br>
So, if you would know us then, pray, sing along.<br>
<br>
_Thrice joyous are we who follow the falcon<br>
<br>
Thrice joyous are we wherever we roam<br>
Thrice joyous are we Who don gold and purple<br>
Thrice joyous are we who call Heartland home._<br>
