Ravenstrikex - The Raven's Due

Raise the
RA and raise it high.
Truth like an ax through a rotten
Hard years taught me to take the hit.
Worst of all, I got used to it.
I brace the shield.
I plant my heel
They'll hear the truth.
I learned to conceal
With a knee in the dust, a mouth full of grit.
I get to my feet, I won't submit.
They call me savage for standing tall,
For raising a shield when they wanted me small.
Let them make the steady stare
And tell me this is fair.
Enough to keep to keep a wrong to end.
End
Raise it high.
True like shield to shield
We hold our ground.
Let the fear they gave us
Chase them down
I got her back.
She clears the way.
We bring the threats into the light of day
Into daylight.
An oath is more than words we say.
It's who we guard when others turn away.
I put my shield against the next attack.
He steps beside me.
We drive it back
A Viking stands when the threats still bite.
A bigger fist doesn't make them right.
I strike at the lie.
She clears the way.
We make them face every word we say
I want that you beside the door.
I want my nights back.
Nothing more but rEST
WON'T COME FROM bending low.
The road must end before
I let it go.
I tighten the strap.
I lift the shield
Fear came to rule.
Now fear must yield.
Stand firm.
Word and deed.
That's a creed
Raise the raven
Raise it high.
Truth like an axe.
You were rocked in life
Shield to shield, we hold our ground
Let the fear that he gave us
Chase them down
Let the truth break through
Let the truth break through
