Army of Truth

No veil or curtain of deceit shrouds me

For nothing dims the power bequeathed

The ground yields to my boots’ weight

I crush the serpent’s head under my heel

The dust about cannot rest upon my crest

Holding no tainted steel nor ounce of rust

 

I approach civilians in their desolate darkness

And illuminate them by my shield’s light

Sword sheathed, I offer my hand in love

Opportunity to serve in the army of light

We serve the fearless, our powerful leader

To toil and labor in fighting the enemy

 

This armor glows; it creates the shadows

That evil hides in, to cower in terror.

For my tracks lead the way, my path is light

I follow one whose light cannot dim

One who needs no armor for protection

Who’s power and love stand unrivaled

 

Here I stand stall.

Shield held high

Sword at my side.

 

And behind me

Are the many ranks

All in the same armor.

 

We are the many,

Yet the few to rally.

Behind the savior.
