The Warrior

We are not a violent sort
Violence is our last resort
Nor are we small of mind or heart
We seek only to turn wrong to right
We fight to stand behind what’s good.
For warriors fight as warriors should
We forsake ourselves for brotherhood
So charge the darkness screaming loud
Be gone you evil doer crowd
Reveal yourself form shadows dark
Step forward now and toe the mark
Let us see you as you are.
Dark and ugly cowards all

Warriors sometimes disguise themselves
In shrouds that mask their loving hearts
Always forward toward the quest
Without the need of battlement
Without the need of force
The warrior stands against the rest
Standing strong and standing tall

Be patient with the warriors ways
Be understanding too
Don't judge nor stereotype
And should you have a warrior’s heart
Be proud and let it show
Come join the fight for righteousness
Embrace the conflicts song
We are all a valiant bunch
Directed to a fault
Strong in our convictions
Tenderness of heart
