Heroes? Legions! aka Excelsior (song)

Sing the song of Eastern Monarchs*
Rise, attend, declare for they.
Friend and ally both inspired.
Heroes? Legions!
Hear them say:

Excel-sior,
Excel-sior,
Excel-si-or
'S the Eastern way.
(repeat chorus)

Bathe in bur-ning Eastern fire,
Rush to join, as all brave may.
Forge your mettle in our pyre!
Heroes? Legions!
Hear them say:

Excel-sior,
Excel-sior,
Excel-si-or
'S the Eastern way.
(repeat chorus)

Rise above the din and ashes,
High as angles and survey,
Reigns the Tyger Rex triumphant!
Heroes? Legions!
Hear them say:

Excel-sior,
Excel-sior,
Excel-si-or
'S the Eastern way.
(repeat chorus till exunt)

(*can be replaced with any 2 syllable plural noun (armies, archers, etc)
