Sarissas

Take a deep breath and stand firm where you are
 Feel the courage flow and fear no more
 For glory now stand, take life with your very own hands
 And fulfill what one you swore

 Can you feel the battle field breathe
 It's as alive now as you or me, watch how it moves
 Feel the pulse, to the ebb and flow of war
 Its beauty like the gold one adorns

 When I beheld its majesty, it has never ceased to be
 Any less to me than a perfect tragedy

 On the edge of tears I'm held by the moment
 With the knowledge that all will change
 No longer the caring man, now only the cruelest hand
 To ensure my victory

 So cold is the kiss of the steel
 So old, it's the fear we all feel!

 Now is the time, get to the line, and give our last stand
 These are moments that define the man
 My dynamics is what drives me
 The will to carry on
 Give it all till the end and then we fall

 I can remember the sight all the Sarissas aligned
 Like the trees under gaze of star light
 When the wind would pass them through
 They'd sing their mournful tune
 Their call would echo through the night

 The men would ask why is the Sarissa's song so sad

 The Sarissa's song is a sad one, its pipes sing soft and low
 I would choose another profession, he says, but war is all I know
 It pierces through the cries, drew the tears from our eyes
 A cold wartime lullaby!
