Be the Ember

heroes the stars twinkling lights
lights shining with mankind’s strength
strength with a shared alliance
alliance with a steel footing
footing with grace and god

fight the fight mankind’s justice
justice the kernel of life
life the strength to blossom
to blossom flower and grow
grow and seed new gardens

courage forges a cobalt core
core to stand and fight
fight for sisters and brothers
brothers too weak to speak
speak and resist with another

arm the Phoenix that rises
rises to ignite the embers
embers that burn down walls
walls blocking highways to horizons
horizons bridges to pulsing pathways

stand up with silver sword
sword of the deft warrior
warrior to battle the blight
blight that strikes the blossoms
blossoms that flower and grow
