Go to the gates of Gre'thor
In lines of three.

With his deadly glance.

Two of your souls are missing,
You can sense it, but how can it be?

(sentence)

Fek'lhr! Guardian of my souls,
You have been outwitted
By a mere mortal!

Kotar, Kotar, Kotar!
Assemble your Qempa'keh*,
The proudest spirits of Gre'thor!

And self-sufficient once more,
And fight with honor!

Slaying spirits with no honor,
No honor, no hope, no future.

I have built our proud warriors,
A home in the afterlife.

From entering the realm of the proud,
You will also welcome the honorable.

You caused by entering and leaving,
Gre'thor in search of your kin.

Were created by Kotar,
And so it is, up to this day.

Every Klingon knows the ways of honor,
And teaches their children by this tale.

(sentence)

We fight to enrich the spirit
And to expand our realm,
Listen to the voice of your blood.
