I will gladly get ******

Stand as guardian and protectress
With sword and shield in hand
Readied to hew heads from bodies
Without batting an eye,

I will gladly get ******

Sear away with every ****
The humanity in my soul
So no one else need be soulless

I will gladly get ******

Rush the battlefield
In berserker fashion
Taking no prisoners,
Sparing no breaths,
Not even mine,

I will gladly get ******

If it means I keep them safe
In body and soul,
In life and limb,
In thought and future

I will gladly get ******
If it keeps them away from you.

YOU were supposed to bear this role

But you bore us
Only to abandon us.

So now we take up the mantle,
We must protect
Our sisters, our family, our self,

From you.
