and so it's up to us to
shoulder the world and march into a new one -
into the blackened dawn.
ashes, ashes, we all will rise.
claim the day.
soldier through the blackness,
through the blackened dawn -
and run towards the sunlight you've made.

take up your tinkers, your toys,
take up your trade.
strangle the blackness with your hope.
use what you have.
fight with tools and
build something
(any way you can).

we can change it but
only if we try.
