lyrics

Blade and shield separate.
Spirits dampen
Feeling damaged.
Far now from your homes
A life you cherish.
Struggle with the reality
The ones you love have perished.

We must go on now.
The sands of time
Give us no quarter.

When destiny is out of our grasp
Our Virtues remain intact.
Fight to survive until our lungs collapse
Our Virtues remain intact.

The Phantoms lurk
Over your shoulder.
Aim your eyes and your aspirations.
Beyond the mid-day sky
We are but nothing,
If we abandon principle.

Rising from the waters
As the chosen few.
Take from the tragedy,
A sense of purpose anew.
Standing survivors
You have been given a gift most gracious.

We must go on now.
The sands of time
Give us no quarter.

When destiny is out of our grasp
Our Virtues remain intact.
Fight to survive until our lungs collapse
Our Virtues remain intact.
