The Creed of Few Men

Amid fire, amid fear
When hope has no grounds in circumstance
I will stand.
Amid silence, amid lies
When all truth has become blurred
I will speak, with the clarity of true principle.
Amid cowardice and treachery
When valor is a virtue long since buried
I will fight.
Amid tyranny and oppression
When freedom has no bearing
I will rise, a bulwark against the tide.
Amid bloodshed and tears
When agony has no ending
I will defend.
