Steadfast we stand, defiant ...against great odds
Prepared to take arms and with grace prevail
The enemies have joined hands ...to destroy our unity
Though outnumbered ...we are not outmanned
We fight for liberty ...for country, home and family
Though we may be from worlds ...apart
We fight as one ...the principalities we serve
Are the self+same ...for eternity
We represent the will to be free
The cumulative intelligence, experience,
Good will and spirit
Though in our past we may have been mortal enemies
We have this opportunity to make amends
For a simple course of being ...freedom to effect change
For those of us ...whom death looms ahead
...who can say...
If it is to be our time
Die well
We will have this day
Or none
