The pro-Assad militia Muqawama Suriya (profile here) is one of the most prolific producers of nasheeds (songs) among pro-Assad factions. Below is my translation of the group's most recent production (original lyrics here). The particular emphasis on victory and martyrdom may relate to the recent losses of the regime and the Muqawama Suriya in Idlib and Homs provinces to the rebels and Islamic State respectively.

"Raise your voice high and declare that you are resistance.
Be loyal to truth, and do not be content with bartering.
We are seekers of martyrdom.
We go forward on the path of God.
Our land is the land of martrydom.
At your service, oh Syria.
We are the roaring sea, the traitor does not double-cross us.
We are the conquering army, victorious by God's aid.
We are seekers of martyrdom.
We go forward on the path of God.
Our land is the land of martrydom.
At your service, oh Syria.
Raise the banners of the right path, support whoever defeats the enemy.
Raise the voice and repeat: our victory is coming by God's aid.
We are seekers of martyrdom.
We go forward on the path of God.
Our land is the land of martrydom.
At your service, oh Syria.
We are not the one who fears perdition, we go forward to the day of sacrifice.
Our voice and echo are on high: my homeland is Syria and we sacrifice for it.
We are seekers of martyrdom.
We go forward on the path of God.
Our land is the land of martrydom.
At your service, oh Syria."
Update (28 July): The nasheed itself is hardly original: it is largely based on this Hezbollah nasheed.
