Light Shall Stand
Gathering in the light
The sun our general
Fire our ally
Light our army
Darkness falls
Lead by fear its general
Absence its army
Despair its ally
For when the
Two armies
Collide together
Chaos ensues
Light the good
Darkness the bad
Which side will conquer
Which side will fail
One army still stands
Not of blight
Not of conquest
But of joy
For the light still stands
Holding its lines
While darkness gathers
Light shall stand
Forever protecting
That which is good
That which is noble
That which is true
Forever resolute
Forever standing together
Forever unified
Light shall stand
