The Battle Dance

"

For our safety they scour the wilderness
All but in the name of our security
For our freedom they flee the bosom of their home
Hear the war cries sound
Now the battle must begin
Here the patriots go with their chariots
Playing their graceful dance on the battlefield
A dance of flying swords
A dance of spilled blood
For only the strongest must survive

The loyal patriot flees his family to bear the battle burden
The loyal patriot sings
My sword is my only protector
My mind my only shield
My heart my only reason
For he is closed to his cause
Fleeing his family to prove his worth
Joining the battle dance
Where only the strong survive
Where only the bravest dare to step
Hardly a ground for games
Hardly a crescent for cries or laughter
Hardly a haven for women and children

Let loose on the battlefield like a spark in a pool of fuel
He moves the course of his sword with such grace
With every strike it spills the blood of the barbaric enemy
Dying off like flies the enemies go in numbers at his hand
For he will bring the enemy to his knees
For he fights with immense honor
For he fights with immense faith

Even when outnumbered
He remains at his cause
For as long as his limbs can move and his lungs can breathe
He knows only but to fight
When others see him they’re inspired
Others glare at him and join him
Others admire him and follow him
For he fights with such passion and flare
Who can defeat this devoted soldier?


Dare to bully his family
You touched his last nerve
Take the war to his home
His only true possession
He will haunt you to your end
Footing whatever tools that are in his reach
He will bring you to your knees
He fights with no anger or vengeance
But he moves with immense honor and grace
For he knows no fear

He will walk through burning flames and pricking thorns
For he is the bravest of all
Who can defeat this devoted soldier?
His end can cause countless enemy losses
Only his end can bring him to a stop
