Life's Battle Cry
Should I show you
what it's like to be
in my shoes?
When you play the game
you're always gonna lose.
Happiness is just a word.
Not matter what you do,
you'll always end up hurt.
Emotions will scar you,
up until the point 
you wanna die.
Just be strong 
in everything you do,
show the...

Battle Cry
We stand alone in the blackest night,
Awaiting the battle cry;
Lost and alone in this bloody fight
Never questioning or wondering why;
As I send a silent prayer to the sky......

Battle Cry
When I think of you of you
my heart sings a battle cry,
you and no other my love
I never ask the cosmos why.

I charge forth so sure in my truth
I don't ask if it's just me
who feels the heat
or am I going to be another casualty....

A Secular Battle Cry
all is relative.
all should like to be a part
of this family.
absolutes just exist in
the mind of the creator....

A Battle Cry and a Prayer
In a world that has lost all control,
Where the enemy tirelessly battles for our souls.
We must continue to cry out to God day and night,
Let His strength shield us through this fight.

The battle rages but so many just do not see,
As ancient prophecy is filled,...

Battle Cry
My sword in its sheath
My shield by my side
I go into battle
With my loud battle cry
I am the General 
With my soldiers beside 
We all go running 
With our enemies insight 
We won the battle 
But by each gun shot 
One by one 
Every man...

Battle Cry
Seeking inspiration,
a call to all the dreamers and believers out there.

When the mundane threatens to kill the whimsy of flights of fancy,
and the grey of the day threatens to linger for what can only be perceived as an eternity
What is the dreamer to do?
What escape...

Battle Cry
I am as subtle as the maker who made me;
I’m not the strongest,
I’m not the bravest,
I’m not the luckiest,
I’m not the smartest,
And definitely not the brightest,
I’m just one who works the hardest.
These words are a battle cry, save your empathy!
Least be assured that I’m a...

The Battle Cry
The bridge is long, the lake is wide,
the trees are bare, they’ve lost their pride.

and so it goes, as Winter shows its face,
the bears asleep, deep in some hidden place.

snowmen stand tall, in neighbor’s yards,
inside, the elders write Christmas cards.

the children on their aging sleds,
slide...

Battle Cry
Leaders tell us we are in danger,
Using our money to kill innocent strangers,
Corruption and greed have taken hold,
History repeats, this story has been foretold,
A desperate government wanting to survive,
Taking desperate measures trying to stay alive,
Tyrants blinded by their own ugly rage,
Learning the hard way, we...

Mama's Battle Cry
He slapped her soft brown face:
With bitter words, no embrace
The house became just a place.

Thirteen down the line,
A catholic family out of time
At night behind bedroom doors---cryin'.

"United we stand," Mama cried.
A hard smack from the back of his hand.
"United we stand," Mama cried.

We kicked him...

' Warriors ... the Battle Cry Song ... '
There Are Sounds of Ancient Thunders
There Are Sounds of Ancient Drummers
        Calling … Brave Warriors
         Gladiators and Warriors

And They’re Marching To The Cadence of Their Hearts’ Pounding
Marching, To The Cadence...

Premium Member Tired Battle Cry
Like a prisoner caught in a cage, wires and strangers
People quietly watching from windows at people on the grasses
Silence in the golden skies while people walk their dogs
My dogs getting pushy, demanding nipping at my ankle
Sharp stinging down the the right arm down the leg
Aches...

The Valiant Few
Ye men of Harlech heed the battle cry
Though hearts be faint and Celtic spirits quake,
The foe advances, raise the banner high
Let courage conquer fear for freedom's sake.

Day's dawning spreads its golden hope anew
Arise ye flagging souls and join the fray,
Triumphantly set forth, though we be...
