Only an
armor
bearer,
firmly
I
stand,
Waiting
to
follow
at the
King’s
command;
Marching,
if
“Onward”
shall
the
order
be,
Standing
by my
Captain,
serving
faithfully.
Refrain
Hear ye
the
battle
cry!
“Forward!”
the
call;
See,
see the
falt’ring
ones,
backward
they
fall;
Surely
my
Captain
may
depend
on me,
Tho’
but an
armor
bearer
I may
be;
Surely
my
Captain
may
depend
on me,
Tho’
but an
armor
bearer
I may
be.
Only
an
armor
bearer,
now in
the
field,
Guarding
a
shining
helmet,
sword,
and
shield,
Waiting
to hear
the
thrilling
battle
cry,
Ready
then to
answer,
“Master,
here am
I.”
Refrain
Only
an
armor
bearer,
yet may
I share
Glory
immortal,
and a
bright
crown
wear;
If in
the
battle
to my
trust
I’m
true,
Mine
shall
be the
honors
in the
Grand
Review.
Refrain
