Ne tako davno po ovoj zemlji
Gazili su ratnici
Cuvari hrama do samog kraja
Hrabro su se branili

Ostri macevi, nebeske munje bez nade
U telu gromovi, celicna ruka pravde
I noci bez sna, noci bez sna

Nek nas bog sacuva

Ja nisam od onih koji mole
Koji traze oprostaj
Ja nisam od onih koji se kriju
Ratnik ne zaboravlja

Ostri macevi, nebeske munje bez nade
U telu gromovi, celicna ruka pravde

I noci bez sna, noci bez sna
Nek nas bog sacuva [2x]
