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.
