Courage Under Fire

"Bones ache yet heart sings"
A courage that is hidden in strings 
A drip of blood on the ground makes a stain 
That rouses the soul of its captain 

In a savage war for glory you may bleed 
But your blood casts the might of your seed 
For the voice of your heart makes you strong 
To fight for the right where you belong 

Like a light of amber in mist of dark 
That blurs the eyes of darkness with its spark 
Your blood that drips makes you alive 
So in darkest of your time, you may survive
