This way, that way, back and forth
	    rum!
march, halt!  turn, halt!  and forward!
         rum!
their feet are never idle
	    rum!

Some have awakened.  They stand
still, looking around in great 
dismay.  They have opened their 
eyes to clouded night.  A night 
frequently illumined by
lightning.  In the distance a 
great city stands on the top
of a mountain.  They see the
lights of Zion.  It glows with
an em'rald light.  As one halts,
another bumps into him
and awakens also.  Soon
a whole company stands still
with their faces to the east.

Look, the eunuchs are waking!
		rum!
They stand still in amazement!
		rum!
Where is their great commander?
