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
