FIVE

All my children hear my call

You are my warriors one and all

With me beside you,

You wont fall

Lift your arms,

Sound my cry

In my name you may die

Here my sword

Hold it fast

Against the hordes it will last

With love you hold it,

In your arms,

I am found

I fight as I will

I protect as I must

Against the greed of mankinds lust

Hold fast my warriors

I’ll give you the strength,

To fight each battle as your last

My armour on you,

My arms at hand,

Fighting on for all the land.

For them alone, For them unheard,

You are the strength

Of my word

Gnt your teeth, hold your sword.

Defend, attack, all in my name.

Fight long, fight hard.

Each drop of blood returns to me.

I am the force, I am the fire,

With me at your side

Strive on, ever higher

Fight hard my warriors,

There is much to do

Much and many to aid

Defend them to whom I direct.

My love, my light,

All who fall within my sight

The creatures, the land, those close at hand.

With my strength

Thou, shalt not die

Nay! Thou shalt live

Long, hard, revel and fight

Till once again, you return to light

And cast aside black shadows of night

Howl and rage,

Swing your sword,

At all of those deaf to my word.

My words are light and life

And love and Liberty.

For all my creatures and my children

And Death!

Aye, Death.

To those who scorn

To those who put thee down

Giving not love, but only frown

Who cuase pain to Mother Earth

Their blood I give thee

Their only worth,

Smite hard,

And into battle thou shalt ride

Till from my glory none can hide

I love you, O warriors of mine Earth

On those despoilers of my land,

Swing your axe, bring my hand.

Them that harm my creatures so.

Down to hell they shall go.

Be my strength

My hand in war

As I curse them who would destroy

Natures beauty and her soul

You my warriors, Go on, ever on,

With me beside you all along.

“Hail Ishtar!

For thee we fight

Safe and strong within they might

Grant to us your power of sight

That we may see what is the right

And come to you before the night.

Hail and thanks.”
