and marches forth war from slumber
rose flickering eyes
confused, aflame
there is a drum beating
stretched across the earth
struck infinite by worn feet
onwards
onwards
for all that is precious to us
loved or lost, the unforgotten and most beloved
their ethereal smiles
the warmth that keeps us from savagery
home of our pasts and most joyous secrets
and possessed by nature's tender heart
upon it our word
we will crush
all that dare
draw blood upon
our holy land
