Chorus:

Impi! wo nans impi iyeza

Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

All along the river chelmsfords army lay asleep

Come to crush the children of mageba

Come to exact the realms price for peace

And in the morning as they saddled up to ride

Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel

The general told them of the task that lay ahead

To bring the people of the sky to heel

Chorus

Mud and sweat on polished leather

Warm rain seeping to the bone

They rode through the seasons wet weather

Straining for a glimpse of the foe

Hopeless battalion destined to die

Broken by the benders of kings

Vainglorious general and victorian pride

Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives

Chorus

They came to the side of the mountain

Scouts rode out to spy the land

Even as the realms soldiers lay resting

Magebas forces were at hand

And by the evening the vultures were wheeling

Above the ruins where the fallen lay

An ancient song as old as the ashes

Echoed as magebas warriors marched away

Chorus
