Soldiers for the cause

As sure as there are shadows
that lurk within the night,
we are the more determined
to stand for what is right.
-
To run is not an option
that we will entertain,
for cowards never finish
and losers never gain.
-
With eyes toward tomorrow
and weapon in our hand,
we take the place that others
before us dared to stand.
-
And with a faith that's certain
we don't intend to give,
into the hands refuting
the right we have to live.
-
As sure as there are shadows
still lurking in the night,
you can wager all you have
we do intend to fight.
-
We are soldiers for the cause
that being we believe,
in standing firm against those
who dare to but deceive.
