I tremble in anger and fear
But I refuse to shed a tear
Waves of Reapers come crashing in
Robbing us of what could have been
oOo
The jewel's falling off the crown
We loftily thought as our own
Goddess, how has it come to this?
Did we trade greatness for hubris?
oOo
I focus on her, her presence
Hope is her blood, fight her essence
She will lead us to victory
Together we will write history
oOo
She always does, in her we trust
We'll follow her through grime and dust
She's our shepherd, our strength, our spark
Beacon of hope in the long dark
oOo
Our destination awaits us
With tales unreal and treasonous
No wonder that secret was kept
In times of peace I would have wept
oOo
Athame never was our kin
But her beauty holds deep within
The remnants of a hope once lost
We must bring back at any cost
oOo
Suddenly fate strikes us again
Gunship blazing, blades unrestrained
Pulling the rug from under us
Malevolent and pernicious
oOo
Indoctrination sure runs deep
Our shepherd is losing her sheep
And I'm losing my sanity
Oh Mother, are you watching me?
I'd like to thank the lovely MassEffectMayhem for proofreadding this short little thing :]
