[edit] Meaning
The Title of the song "Vode An" is actually in the fictional Star Wars language Mandalorian. The song is a war chant used by ancient Mandalorians.
The Clones in Star Wars were actually clones of Jango Fett, a bounty hunter of Mandalorian descent. Also, the Clone commandos are constantly referred to as brothers. This is possibly the reason behind the song's title and lyrics.

[Intro]
Glory!
One indomitable heart, Brothers all.
We, the wrath of Coruscant, Brothers all.
And glory, eternal glory,
We shall bear its weight together.
Forged like the saber in the fires of death, Brothers all.
[Bass Vocals]
Those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.
Our vengeance burns brighter still.
Every last traitorous soul shall kneel.
Those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.
Our vengeance burns brighter still.
Every last traitorous soul shall fall.
