22 Jan

Fear overcome by determination of a vision, 

In defense of the body of Christ, wounded and ever bleeding,  

Rhythmic drums place strength in the soul, 

With fierce voice pounding within,  

Body girded by the Lord, 

A heart set upon the God and Father of victories,  

Right hand armed with the pride of steel, 

Feet marching towards enemy lands in iron.   

Mounted with aimed spear,  

A certain end,  

In the victory of a holy death 

Or the victory of the sword.  

A spirit,  

That lifts the body beyond this earth 

where ranks of warrior saints kneel and intercede, 

Animates the body to become a god of war.
