                                                                            capo II
   Am            G              Am
I stand amid argent and azure
       Am             G               Em           Am
The sea and the sky parted soft by the foam
      Am                G                Em
Yet sorrow’s companion, this pleasure
       Am                G                 Em             Am
For day breaks and I must take leave of my home
              Dm                            G               Am
Though great is the love that I bear for this land
        Dm                                    E
And parting brings heartache full sore
      Am        G                F            E
My will it is hardened by duty’s demand
   Am          G                     F            Am
Proudly I’ll heed the drums calling to war

I dwell in Atlantia’s splendor
And great is her wealth both in grace and in might
Her Queen crowned with beauty and honor
Her King ever bold in defense of the right
Be he squire or knight, be he peasant or peer
Humility’s servant he stands
An able companion, a brave volunteer,
When maiden or mistress his service commands.

If chivalry shines before valor
If courtesy stands as the purest acclaim
If the standard of goodness is honor
Then first among peers is Atlantia’s name
So clad in our mail, to our weapons we cling
In treaty and friendship full sworn
For love and for duty we follow our King
In aid of our allies we march on the morn.

I stand amid argent and azure
With brothers in arms, for the battle arrayed
The might of our forces to measure
And answer our kinsmen who’ve called for our aid
And though I must march with my back to the sea,
My gaze turned away from the tide,
I carry Atlantia’s colors with me,
Her banners proclaiming our kingdom, our pride.

Stand amid argent and azure…
