Shredded banners of all stripes
Loom over the quivering dark
How torment kneels
Buckles and fades
As the hearts of many swell
No longer, burdened by fear

Anticipation
Rattles this new earth
Our home renewed, and proudly displayed
With shock riddled tears
That stream through the day
As tranquility spawns
From the eyes of those callously hushed

There is no danger
Locked in our forward stride
Gathered for the final push
Amassed in boiling pride

Still we fume for the lost
With vigor in our footsteps
An infernal courage within
Bred in silent ages past

We shall not falter
