    BROTHERS!! BROTHERS!!
    please, the time has come
    let us prepare


    With expectation and Faith
    we SHALL remain
    though our life's blood shall
    saturate parched and barren plain
    tis our Country
    we SHALL fight for thee
    with HONOR AND VALOR
    the quest for LIBERTY

    And as valiant souls lost
    protect us upon this frigid night
    My Brothers in Spirit
    prepare to FIGHT
    consecrate this Bitter Earth
    with thy indomitable will
    for this Country remains
    our Country STILL

    And though we shall surely face
    evil unforseen
    LIVE to be bold, my Brothers
    DIE for the DREAM

    For, our Children shall awake
    one Sacred Morn
    lamenting our loss
    yet,
    PROUD to be born

    We, the Honored Men of African Descent
    upon this Battle's Eve
    pray a Nation's soul
    shall repent
    and one day we shall find no need
    to utter the inquiry
    TIS the Country I love
    does my Country love ME?
