Valor

kester 1977 (Africa)

Ode


Arise from thy slumber oh sleeper
behold the line is drawn
the battle to conquer
as loyalty sworn...

Prepare your weapons of war
put on the whole armor
the chariots to the bar
to meet your great honor...

Go in an achievers might
face the raging storms with courage
raise a panegyric before night falls
as victory alone quells your rage.
