The dark one leads his forces,
Again! The ferret cries,
Raising high his saber,
With battle-lust in his eyes.
With footpaws fleet and agile,
And mind as sharp as sword,
The ferret leads his troopers,
The Emperor has his word.
Hacking, sowing,
Thrust, parry, slash,
The dark one batters his way through,
Indeed, he is one to match.
He rallies forth his troopers,
Through blinding fog and smoke,
He cries the battle-shout aloud,
As he parries, stroke for stroke:
Once more, into the breach!
