The Warrior

I stand in the face of danger

I alone am the shield for the thousands behind me

I stand in the gap to protect them

They do not know the pain that I suffer

They do not see the atrocities I protect them from

They do not understand what lies in their wake

I keep my shield up

My breastplate close

My helmet on tight

With my sword in hand

I will stand and fight

I will fight until my last breath

I will fight for the truth

That whispers to us from eternity
