Everything was silent and the smoke fire in our eyes.
The cold wind blew across the land in the misty morning light.
We were two thousand brothers going forth to fight.
With sword and shield but without fear as we heard the battle cry.
Lord, we covenant now to fight,
For liberty, land and family to the laying down of our lives.
Father, our god is with us and he will not suffer us to fall.
We will be obedient having faith to conquer all.

-chorus-
Our mothers always taught us we should never doubt.
If we are true and faithful we will conquer now.
Our god will fight beside us, he will help us win.
Our mothers always knew it,
We will all come home again.

~
We lifted up our swords and we fought with all our might.
We had never fought before but we fought the lamanites.
They were bloodthirsty warriors with their faces painted red.
When the battle was over, there were thousands left for dead.

-chorus-
Our mothers always taught us we should never doubt.
If we are true and faithful we will conquer now.
Our god will fight beside us, he will help us win.
Our mothers always knew it,
We will all come home again.

~
I fell with many wounds and was taken from the dead.
I looked around the battlegrounds and the lamanites had fled.
Of my two thousand brothers here one soul had not been slain.
And we could see our mother's tears as we sang this song again.

-chorus-
Our mothers always taught us we should never doubt.
If we are true and faithful we will conquer now.
Our god will fight beside us, he will help us win.
Our mothers always knew it, we will all come home again.
