Keep the memories close
Cemented to your mind
The dark as a reminder
The light as a guide

Prayers are but a fuel
Cast onto a fire that lies within the chest.
Burn.
Until the great engine inside roars.
Until you have the strength to raise your arms.

Cletch the fist
Don the armor
Bear the shield
Wield the sword

That weight will make you strong
That strength will keep us safe.
