Today is the day I will fight
For the truth, and for what is right

Today is the day I will defend
For my people and against those who seek my end

Today is the day I will pray,
For the enemy is at bay.

Today is the day I will yield
Right now on this battlefield.

Today is the day I will die
At the face of danger, whom I defied.
