Proudly the stronghold's powerful walls Are rising to the thundery sky.
Towers and flags are almost appearing To touch the mighty dark threatening clouds.
Built on a high elevation of rock - It never has been in the enemy's hands.
From the towers the iron-clothed knights Are able to watch for miles and miles.
Built with the loss of hundreds of men - It must not fall into the enemy's hands.
From far away the watchers perceive The forward-movement of hostile troops.
Built of granite-blocks with hundreds of pounds - Sweat and blood flow through many decades. Each soldier has sworn to defend it till death - It never will fall into the enemy's hands!
