Help Us Outgrow Our Fears

This world, ever gentler grows

Such unnatural, wicked, vice

Weakness is all it knows

And its tune it always reprise

Vigor, now, is our only relic

From all hearts it disappeared

And hardiness, a virtue, so ecstatic

Is forgotten... Its antipodes, adhered

Men walk a dying, decomposed, stance

In a world festering, and far gone

Broke all vows of fidelity, as they dance

Manliness has come undone

Help us outgrow our fears

Through the shadows of the Night

Help us withstand this pretense

From strength as we alight
