We were born for adversity,
And to face this last great tribulation,
And to be marred and crushed under the weight of it.
But we were not born unto the hell of fear and doubt.
And though they cling to us the day-long
And would destroy our very souls,
We say to our eyes
“Look up, eyes, and see the unseen things
That will arise when death has had its way
And we come forth in white robes
Unto the liberation of all those
Who believed in the things they could not see unto the end.
