Day of Days

Here, on this day, this day of days,
The night is done,
And in the dawn we see
The enemy waiting before us,
The bodies of our fallen brethren around us
Washed in rivers of blood,
The air thick with the cries of pain, cries of fear.
Doubt grips me and I wonder:
How can I do this?
What can I change?
What can I do?
Here, on this day, this day of days,
Mercy smiles on me
And I see that I am not just me,
For beside me stands my brother.
His strength becomes my strength,
My strength becomes another's strength,
His strength becomes another's strength,
And his strength becomes our strength.
We brethren become one.
Together we stand,
In the face of our enemy,
We stand side by side,
Strong and resolute.
One step we take together,
Another, and another.
One step to conquer fear,
One step to conquer doubt,
One step to conquer ourselves.
As one, no barrier can hold us,
No obstacle can stop us.
And as we raise our eyes, we see it.
We see what fear had placed beyond our reach.
Victory.
Now, finally, as our fear melts away
Victory is in our grasp.
Victory will be ours.
Here, on this day, this day of days,
Victory is ours.

Weapon

The greatest weapon in all of time
Is not made of metal nor wood nor hand.
It is man's tongue,
And even hell cannot defeat it.

Breath

I see it's power all around me.
Unstoppable, untamed.
This wind.
I cannot run from it
I cannot hide from it.
It is immortal.
It carries each of us.
Every sigh we make with each emotion.
The breath we take with each day.
Each exhale joins the body of the wind.
We come together.
Strangers are forever intertwined.
Lovers forever one.
The breath of thousands.
The breath of the earth.
Every time we breath
The earth breaths with us.
In this wind we shall leave our mark
In this wind we shall leave our footprint.
In this wind we shall be immortal.
