Lyrics (Kanji); 1. 我は官軍我敵は 天地容れざる朝敵ぞ 敵の大將たる者は 古今無雙の英雄で 之に從ふ兵は　　 共に慓悍決死の士 鬼神に恥ぬ勇あるも　　 天の許さぬ叛逆を 起しゝ者は昔より　　 榮えし例あらざるぞ 敵の亡ぶる夫迄は　　 進めや進め諸共に 玉ちる劔拔き連れて　　 死ぬる覺悟で進むべし 2. 前を望めば劔なり　 右も左りも皆劔 劔の山に登らんは　 未來の事と聞きつるに 此世に於てまのあたり　 劔の山に登るのも 我身のなせる罪業を　 滅す爲にあらずして 賊を征討するが爲　 劔の山もなんのその 敵の亡ぶる夫迄は　 進めや進め諸共に 玉ちる劔拔き連れて　 死ぬる覺悟で進むべし Lyrics (Romanji); 1.
