I stand here
Watching you.
Take a stand
As you bleed
Fearless in your strength
You go head on
Into battle
Sacrificing your soul
Like so many before you,
You ask nothing in return
Suffer so that we may survive
Go the distance for the greater good
Like a warrior from heaven
You tare down hell!
Dancing in the face of danger
Your sword and shield
All that stands between
You and death
What is sacrifice?
Except love
What is courage?
But fearlessness
You go into the day
Knowing it might be the last.
