Galloping hard across rocky slopes
The enemy camp lies ahead
We look death in the eyes
Fearless warriors ride
The scout return with the count
Thousands of men to die
We ride hard for the attack
Under the night black
The last ride of the Merkits
Shall not be in vain
The enemy lies within our midst
Unworthy of the khan's reign
Torches set fire to the land
As their camp breaks
The smell of death fills the sky
Cavalry arrows fly
The last ride of the Merkits
Shall not be in vain
The enemy lies within our midst
Unworthy of the khan's reign
♪
Where are you my warrior, my protector?
Gone with our bravest of men
Will I ever see you again? (Though I may never return)
I will die by my
(Cavalry)
Sing across the steppes
(We ride)
Towards our deaths
Their blood paints the land
With tales of our battle (we ride)
All of this land shall obey the khan
Those who don't shall face the horde
(Cavalry)
Sing across the steppes
(We ride)
Towards our death
Reinforcements, fight to your very last breath
For you will find no mercy here today
They close in around us
Spears at our throats
We lived our lives with honour
Today we'll die the same
♪
Their clan rides circles
And yet we stand proud
They outnumber us
But still we hold our ground
♪
We came across these rocky slopes
The enemy camp lay in ruin
We looked death in the eyes
The warriors' spirit will never die
The last ride of the Merkits
Shall not be in vain
The enemy lies within our midst
Unworthy of the khan's reign
♪
And as our enemy made the approach
We knew today would be our last
We faced the onslaught not with fear, but with pride
We had lived our lives with honour
And today we'd die the same
