Reclaiming the Glory

They stood poised to rise like sons A collective of kindred spirits to wars From this squadron pose they chose They rose to face their foes Arise like thorns from bulbs arose Thrust their blades into their souls Of war cries and the songs of idols Their fears worn like sculls on spears Prayers like a kite to the heavens Courage like feathers to the winds Crows poke at their startled eyes Disappear with their gaze like a haze Fake alliances and poor strategies froze In this battle defeat is reward for the skeletons To dowse forever their ignited fuse Refuse their mummies escape from the killing fields To amaze the masses arrested in the maze Kaizer shooting instructions like fireballs The enemy retaliates by clipping our feathers The Glamour boys simply regroup their wings
