Warring States

Be of good cheer
For in the end
Death takes all


Be of good cheer
For violence toils
To usher peace


Be of good cheer
For chaotic times
Prelude grand grace


Be of good cheer
For evil shadows
What goodness lives


Be of good cheer
For fear is empty
Where faith fulfills


Be of good cheer
For love forever
Rules the world


Be of good cheer
For peace of heart
Will change the world


Be of good cheer
Despite great pains
That blame conceives


Be of good cheer
For as you start
With death, you live


Be of good cheer
For all journeys end
With lessons learn


Be of good cheer
For as you live
Purge all evil


Be of good cheer
For dark shadows flee
When light illuminates
