Lament to Freedom

by Jake Parsons | Published: January, 18, 2013

Remember the bravery and honour
Of ancestors gone by
Forge your heart and arm
To steel and light
To shine and harden through the ages

Let the righteous anger
Boil to rage
Let the righteous light
Shine through the darkness
So your enemies are blinded and defeated
So the memory of your deeds
Are remembered by the poets of future
So your deeds are remembered by
The generations

There is no name except the name
Made for the generations
Made for the children
To honour and respect
Made for the women to respect and lament
Let their moistness
Inspire you

Raise with deeds of words and steel
Warriors of righteousness
Raise your flag
Plant your feet
Raise your steel
Harden your heart
Yell your cry
Let none take the generations away
Let none take your memory away

Poets sing your song
Remember the freedom
Granted by those of steel and light
Never forget your sacred duty

Farmers plant your seed
Nomads shepard your flocks
Scribes sharpen your quills
Smiths fan your forge
Priests light your incense
Life requires your diligence

Freedom will not leave our hearts
Lies will not silence our tongues
Deceit will not kill our honesty
Blasphemy will not still our faith
Murder will not stain our shields
Evil will blood our swords
Liberty will strengthen our arm
Our descendents will live free
