Jus Bellum
Rare is the righteous fight
Defending what is worth burned in war's light
Nations clash with just cause in their heart
To safeguard freedom or prevent evil's start
Their cause is noble, their intent is true
To vanquish tyranny, and a tyrant's crew
The cost is steep and the price is high to pay
But for the greater good they march to fray
With honor in their soul
They seek to win and remain whole
The battles rage and the he fury never end
Might prevails and new dawn ascends
War fought and won is a lasting peace
Where hatred's chains can release
Let us hope for peace yet prepare for war
And when called defend what we stand for
