Onward Arsenal Onward

Onward

Leave off dreaming, leave off hesitating. 
Wander on tirelessly!
When your strength is nearly failing,
'Onward' is the right word.

You must not tarry when the hour
Brings you roses;
When from the depths of the sea
The siren tempts you.

Onward, onward! In song
Wrestle with the pain of the world,
Until upon your burning cheek
Falls a golden beam from above.

Until the wreath, thick with leaves,
Weaves about and shadows your brow.
Until your head is transfigured
By the flame of the spirit hovering above it.

Onward then through the foe's battlements,
Onward through the pain of death,
Those who wish to win entrance to Football Heaven,
Must be true warriors!

Words by the Clara Shumann, with just one word added by yours truly.

Come On You Rip Roaring Gunners!!!
