Rise Up To the Fight

With the world crumbling
Piece by piece it is unstable;
But the only thing that can stop this from happening,
Is if our brothers fight to turn the tables.

Every day a storm is developing
In our minds and on the outside;
We know why it's hard for the men to envelope,
Especially with the 50 percent chance to die.

Though we are strong alone
We are never weak together; 
As an army no battle is ever postponed,
With the gods as the witness forever.

May we stand tall with those who came before
Never having the fear to die in battle;
Because death is always expected in war,
But with everyone on our side we make the bones rattle.
