I, Battle Hymn, by Amory McKeever




Armed with invincible breath
And sewn from unbreakable skin
I march in the face of my death
Towards a certain unshakable end

Thus always to tyrants my sword
My shield to stretcher my soul 
Dare not pray my fate to the Lord 
For salvation was never the goal

The aim was to bleed, sweat, and toil 
Until my spirit shines as the Sun 
That Liberty may grow from the soil 
And Freedom is what I become
