Lyrics

Verse 1

United, under the flag

Bayonets in hand,

United, against Communism,

Under God we stand,

We stand mighty together,

By the grace of God our Lord,

We stand mighty in unison,

Brandishing our sword

Chorus

We are citizens,

We are soldiers,

The citizen is a soldier,

The soldier is a citizen,

We answer the call of duty,

Whenever it may call

Verse 2

We pledge ourselves to righteousness,

We pledge ourselves to truth,

We devote our protection to the aged,

As well as to the youth,

We stand with all Phalangians,

Of every creed and race,

We stand united in our effort,

To make The Phalange an exalted place

Chorus
