We are the .Eyes of the Army;
We are its Throbbing Thought -
We are the Wings of Knowledge

We are the Cry and - the Signal,

Whispering to the trenches,
Warding off Lurking Death!

We are the Flash of Light
Leading our hosts to battle --
The Spirit of the Fight!

Over both friend and foeman
Our daring motors sing.
We are the Vigil -keepers,
Tireless our eyes and true;
We are the Wild Destroyers

Following infinite trails;
Clouds are our Lone Companions,
Our playthings, driving hails!

Of the cgnrtol1'S crushing blow -
The Tongues of Flame we loosen
Speak through the guns below!
Hovering high and lonely, -
Gleaming arid white and free,
We are the Empire's Fearless Soul,
Guarding the land and seal
