Stand and fight, we do consider
Reminded of an inner pact between us, that’s seen as we go
…
To fields in debts of honour, defending
…
Peaceful lives will not deliver freedom, fighting we know
Destroy oppression, the point to reaction
As leaders look to you, attacking
Choose and renounce, throwing chains to the floor
Kill or be killing, faster sins correct the flow
Casting giant shadows off fast penetrating force
To alter via the war that’s seen, as friction spans the spirits wrath
ascending to redeem
Wars that shout in screams of anguish
Power spent passion bespoils our soul receiver, surely we know
In glory we rise to offer
Create our freedom, a word we utter
A word
Words cause our banner, victorious our day
Will silence be promised as violence displays
The curse increased, we fight the power and live by it by day
Our gods awake in thunderous roars and guide the Leader’s hand
in paths of glory to the cause
Listen, should we fight forever
Knowing as we do know, fear destroys
Listen, should we leave our children
Listen, our lives stare in silence
Help us now
Listen, your friends have been broken
They tell us of your poison, now we know
Kill them, give them as they give us
Slay them, burn their children’s laughter
On to hell

From Wikipedia:
“The Gates of Delirium” is the first track on Yes’s 1974 album, Relayer. The album title comes from the lyrics of “The Remembering (High The Memory)” from Tales from Topographic Oceans.
Based on Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, the song begins with a prelude, which leads into a lengthy instrumental section (beginning at about the 8 minute mark) representing the battle. The final section (entitled “Soon”), released as a single in 1975, is a very gentle, soothing prayer for peace and hope which represents the aftermath of the battle. Before the re-issue of Tales from Topographic Oceans or In a Word: Yes (1969 - ), this was the longest officially released studio recording by the band with almost 22 minutes, taking up the entire first side of the LP.
It is the only Yes studio album to feature Patrick Moraz, who replaced keyboardist Rick Wakeman earlier in the year. Relayer reached #4 in the UK (remaining 8 weeks in the Top 40) and #5 in the US (remaining 16 weeks in the Top 200).
A loud crashing sound heard in the middle of the song is caused by a set of old automobile parts mounted on a rack being pushed over. The band decided to keep it in instead of doing another take. Alan White explains in the liner notes of the 2003 remaster of the album. “The percussion on that song is pretty unusual,” he says. “Jon and I used to travel together to Chris’ home studio, where we recorded the album. We would stop at a junkyard along the way and pick up parts of cars. We’d just go there and bang on things. There were springs and pieces of metal, brake, and clutch plates. We’d buy them and bring them back to the studio. We built a rack and hung all these things off it, and we’d bang on them. During the recording I pushed the whole thing over. That crash is what you hear on the album.”

Music starts at 01:50. Yes invited keyboard maestro Patrick Moraz to accompany them on “Soon” - the closing section of their masterpiece composition “The Gates of Delirium” from their “Relayer” album. Patrick, of course, was the original keyboard player on that album. This recording is from the first of two nights they played together in Philadelphia.
