War

The Soldier

 

The hero of the country

The soldier of the fight

The Excalibur of the story

And the phoenix in flight

 

The soldiers are our paladins

The fights are our salvation

The sword is their courage

And the phoenix is their protection

 

The flag of the state

The marker of the tomb

The emblem of hate

And the badge of doom

 

The flag is our evidence

The marker is their tribulation

The emblem is their catalyst

And the badge is their profession

 

The water of the ocean

The sand of the dunes

The rock of the mountain

And the stream of the blue

 

The water is their passage

The sand is their solitude

The rock is their knoll

And the stream is their altitude

 

The home of the brave

The freedom of the land

The pain of the brothers

And the prayers in hand.

 

The home is our heart

The freedom is our mind

The pain is our love

And the prayers are allied.
