Warriors

Is it not noble to fight for the cause,
Is there not honour in doing what's right.
What you feel in your heart, not for applause,
Facing your fears, then engage in the fight.

To still hold your nerve as mayhem takes charge,
And stand with your comrades facing the foe.
To then be steadfast, with death looming large,
Feeling the courage that warriors know.

To be unflinching, and fear not thy death,
Trust in your courage, have faith in the Lord.
Stand and be counted till your final breath,
Until the darkside is put to the sword.

Courage is needed, good men need to stand,
Fight for the righteous, let God guide your hand.
