Hero

Brave Lion Hero
Standing tall
Proud and in control
Defiant resistance
To the foolish bullies
Shouting in your face
Guarding your emotions
While they lash out like animals
Stupid ape barbarians
Their only weapon, shouting
Growls, guttural threats
Insane

Hero, know
You have won this fight
By telling truth
By standing by your country
In its crisis not of your making
And now the shouters
Side with your enemy
Turning their backs on you
The traitors
Betray their own land
“Loving the enemy”
Should never mean treason

Oh Hero
We in the shadows know
You are in the right
We can never side
With the Menace and the Sidekick
We can never trust them
To be in the right
For the louder they scream
The more that they lie
And Truth is destroyed
Day by day

Please, oh Hero
Don’t give in
Don’t give up
Resist

As the world must…
