Victory or Death

The only two choices for a warrior
Look around
To the men and women standing around you
Each ready to give up their gift of life for you
Look in their eyes,
feel their spirit,
align your minds with one another
Today and for all days to come
We hold in our hearts

Victory or Death

On this day we plant our feet deep like roots
We will not go mouths closed and hands bound to another land
They believe that they are going to come to our land with ease
Taking what is not theirs to take
Our greatness can’t be placed in chains and reduced lower to animals
My flesh, your flesh, your children’s flesh
Shall not be ruled by another made of the same flesh

Victory or Death

Is what we declare
No other option exist for our people
Raising our weapons high
and our spirits higher
We will not consume fear
but instead feast on courage
Fighting as one unstoppable force
We will fight to the last Man
We will fight to the last Woman
Warriors
The time has come

Victory or Death
