Defender Immortal

The battle was long drawn..
he was fighting against great odds
injured he now is ... it's first light 
just before dawn... he repeats 
the defenders vows.. a glow of light
a glow of silver light ascends..
In the eastern sky just before dawn
the defenders who are gathered..
mutter names of past, present..
and future defenders..
Jehovah Nisi he is my Defender..
they leave...its the sound of a bird
the sound of a bird calling out..
calling out to my name, your name
Serah.. its the wings of a bird
