Reminded of an inner pact between us
That's seen as we go and ride there in motion
To fields secrets of honor, defending

Stand the marchers soaring talons
Peaceful lives will not deliver freedom
Fighting we know, destroy oppression
The point to reaction as leaders look to you, attacking

Choose and renounce, throwing chains to the floor
Kill or be killing, faster sins correct the flow
Casting giant shadows off fast penetrating force
To alter via the war that seen as friction spans
The spirit's wrath ascending to redeem

Wars that shout in screams of anguish
Power spent passion despoils our soul receiver
Surely we know, in glory we rise to offer
Create our freedom, a word we utter, a word

Words cause our banner, victorious our day
Will silence be promised as violence displays?
The curse increased, we fight the power and live by it by day
Our Gods awake in thunderous roars and guide
The leader's hand in paths of glory to the cause

Listen, should we fight forever
Knowing, as we do know fear destroys?
Listen, should we leave our children?
Listen, our lives stare in silence, help us now

Listen, your friends have been broken
They tell us of your poison, now we know
Kill them, give them as they give us
Slay them, burn their children's laughter on to hell

The fist will run, grasp metal to gun
Spirit sings in crashing tones, we gain the battle drum
Our cries will shrill, the air will moan and crash into the dawn
The pen won't stay the demon's wings
The hour approaches, pounding out the Devil's sermon

Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
Oh wait here for you, our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open, our reason to be here
Long ago, set into rhyme

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us, our reason to be here

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us, our reason to be here

Reminded of an inner pact between us
That's seen as we go and ride there in motion
