The Fighting of the Light

Our brightest days,
Are born,
From our darkest nights,

The clinches of evil,
Are made,
To flame our strongest fights,

Rise,
Rise to the occasion,
To prove your spirit, will, and might,

To stand,
In the name of righteousness,
Honor, and justice,
Like a White Knight,

If not...

Burn,
Burn with the cowardly,
whom understand wrong,
But do not fight,

Who tremble to evil,
And watch,
The death of our light,

Who are no better,
Than any fiend,
Whom attempts to destroy,
Our spirit, will, and might,

Do not stand aside,
Peering away,
In silence and fright,

But help...

Help rectify,
The night.
