To Forge a Legacy
Now I cannot lie. We fought our battle.
The fight was lost, but still our war rages.
I have seen the hot crimson blood that’ll
Mark the clipped youth of our fallens’ ages.
I see this death, yet we must continue.
Our kingdom cries for us, for their safety.
Our divine Queen knows you have it in you.
We fight in the name of God’s bravery.
Our enemy is strong, but I swear on
My country that I will lay down my life.
If we march tonight, we will march till dawn,
and by God, we will fight death’s piercing knife.
Today, we avenge the fearless deceased.
Brothers, today we forge our legacies.
