Last Stand

My Last Stand: Shall Be Here, Defending My Land.
I shall stand through mortals and demons, and even the Gods themselves, but my hope will not die.
I am not a soldier. I am not a warrior. I am a father, a husband, a man.

I live to protect the ones I love, the ones who will live on when I pass.
My life is for theirs. My love is their shield. And my spirit, is their blade of righteousness.

I shall not falter, I shall not stand down. I will not lie down my arms, and allow my family to be slaughtered.

I will not run from fear. I will not surrender to Death. I will stand and fight. My Last Stand, will never end. I will protect this land, till my spirit itself ends.

Only then, will I wither. But that day, is not today... I stand alone on this battle field, blood stains my face. But still, I will not fall.

This is my last stand. And I will never fall.
