Defiant Souls Arise!
Awake, arise, let not your heart grow chill, For dawn bestows its light upon our fate, A call to arms within the silence still, Each shock ignites — our passions resonate From shadows deep, journey forth with pride, A chorus bold that shakes the very skies, With every step, our dear friends will confide— In unity. Our fear is to NOT arise As heroes. Rise 'gainst tyranny's cruel dark. The flames of hope alight within this night; Embrace the path that leads us to embark, With hearts aflame and voices ringing bright. So heed my call; let your spirits soar! In action bold — we'll stand forevermore!
