"GODS OF WAR I CALL YOU, MY SWORD
IS BY MY SIDE.
I SEEK A LIFE OF HONR, FREE FROM
ALL FALSE PRIDE.
I WILL CRACK THE WHIP WITH A BOLD
MIGHTY HAIL.
COVER ME WITH DEATH IF I SHOULD
EVER FAIL.
"GLORY, MAJESTY, UNITY
HAIL, HAIL, HAIL. "

Through the shadow of death
I stand my ground
With thy sword in hand
And with thy shield
Both comfort me
Thy helm on thy head
Shields thy from
Thy drops of waters
Thy sword lies by thy side
Thy shield waits by thy side
Thy waits alone on thy shores
Thy waits for what comes to his land
Thy stands on the thy beach
Thy body is covered in thy
Enemy’s blood
Thy sword is stain with blood
Thy shield is dented
Thy helm is broken
Thee stands and waits for what
Is coming for thee

More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. -Bruce Lee
