In Liberty and Peace

Blessed be all the men of valor
They who'd given their lives to fulfill our clamor 
So the ebony sky that obscured the horizon 
Would be as white as the dawn. 

In quest for victory, we came to know defeat
When winds of nightfall dared the morning breeze 
So the hands of time that forsaken us for long 
Would tell them darkness that we are strong. 

May the torch of victory far rising above seas 
Remind us that freedom is a bliss 
So the crown of dominion circling around 
Will be cherished as a scared ground.
