Warrior's Prayer

May my aim be quick and deadly, may my rounds hit squarely and true, may my blade be sharp in its cuts, may my enemy be left screwed. May he surrender before battle, I’d live in peace with everyone, but all evil needs to prevail is for good men to choose inaction. May I only kill combatants, I don’t conquer, like ancient Rome, I seek only to defeat my foes, so that I can leave, and go back home. May my brothers be watched over, may I be there when they have need, may the mission be accomplished, so that we, not our people, bleed. May I survive what is coming, and leave not my family in tears, and should I fall for freedom’s cause, may my fight be remembered for years.
