Before them peoples tremble,
    every face turns pale.(A)
Like warriors they run,
    like soldiers they scale walls,

    each advances in its own track;
They plunge through the weapons;
    they are not checked.

    not swerving(E) from their course.
They do not jostle each other;
    each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
    without breaking ranks.
