Rest Now, Good Soldier
Your fight is done
Your duty fulfilled
Rest now, o weary soldier
Survivor of a most fearful night
Witness of a most wicked malice
Victim of an exalted madman
Rest now, brave soldier
Challenger of that dread night
Warrior who fought the mad oppressors
The time has come for you to rest
Rest now, son of Abraham
Knighted by Lady Liberty
And blessed by Yawe
Defender of the oppressed
Enemy of all tyrants
Champion of the forsaken
Nemesis of bloodlust
Rest now
The war is still ongoing
The oppressed are still ignored
The Enemy is still at work
But not all memories are so weak
Not all hearts are sealed in stone
Take off your heavy armour
Knowing that others are donning theirs
Fear not that your work will be left undone
Fear not that the fruits of yout labor will turn to rot
The days of darkness will come again
The Enemy will laugh once more
But even in the darkest of hours
There shall still be champions
There shall still be soldiers
So rest now, good soldier
Rest in eternal peace
