harrowing hell

the engraved letters gleam with secret fire
there's never reason to accept the night
while still there is one scintilla of light

we will not listen to the earthly choir
that counsels us to silence or to flight
the engraved letters gleam with secret fire

struggle leads us unto places higher
and we must claim the standard as our right
we cannot run and can't avoid the fight
the engraved letters gleam with secret fire
