Fidelity Cries
Marrying war
the true soldier is wed
Betrothal of blood
asleep in his bed
The men he would die for
as groomsmen rejoice
A vow ringed in glory
his weapon of choice
The years become marked
by each battle romanced
Anniversaries pledged
at the point of a lance
Divorce not an option
fidelity cries
His love bleeding freely
—with honor his bride
