My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of Christ:
He descends from the skies unto the mountains' heights,
And with the Archangel Michalis leading Heaven's Army by His side:
His warriors are marching on...

Glory to our Holy Motherland!
Glory to our Holy Motherland!
Glory to our Holy Motherland!
Christ's Army marches on...

For 'tis the Great Tribulation our Monarch has seen,
And he stands before Christ and the Archangel Michalis,
And before the Redeemer, he kneels at His feet,
Our Monarch Marches on...

Glory to our Holy Motherland!
Glory to our Holy Motherland!
Glory to our Holy Motherland!
Our Monarch marches on...

In the cold dark of a night, Christ was born unto the world,
With glory that shook the Earth, He came to us in peace,
And as Christ died to make man Holy, we shall die to make men free,
Our God is marching on.

Glory, glory, to our Father!
Glory to our Holy Father!
Glory to God the Holy Father!
For He is marching on!

Glory, glory, to our Father!
Glory to our Holy Father!
Glory to God the Holy Father!
For He is marching on!

AMEN!
Well this is a version of the old "Battle Hymn of the Republic," adopted by the Hellenic Royal Empire after her annexation of the New England Union (Now the New England Protectorate) and renamed "Battle Hymn of the Tribulation."  Typically a patriotic song of the New England Protectorate, it is also sang in the Homeland of the Empire during state holidays and such.  After the fall of the New England Union to Hellenic Imperial forces, the Imperial Senate determined that, despite its integration into the Empire, a territory as vast as the New England Protectorate needed to retain some kind of an identity for itself and her people.  Therefore, the "Battle-Hymn of the Republic" became the "Battle-Hymn of the Tribulation," after several of the events of the book of Revelation.
