This mighty soldier on the eve of the war he waged
Told his troops of lessons learned from battles fought.
"May your heart grow bolder like an iron-clad brigade"
Said this leader to his outnumbered lot.
(Repeat)

Known as hero to all that he knew, long live the legend
Of Finn MacCool! The brave fearless leader of the chosen
Few, long live the legend of Finn MacCool!

For this mighty soldier on the eve of the war he waged
Told his troops of lessons learned from battles fought.
"May your heart grow bolder like an iron-clad brigade"
Said this leader to his outnumbered lot.
