We are not unaware of his schemes

Armor Up!

March in formation
battalion, we move as one
we fight for no country
nor for freedom
(they are already ours to possess)
we fight for love of our powerful leader
whose name only he knows

he leads us on a white horse
the battlefield is open
with no where to hide
it's impossible to escape the flaming arrows that arc above us
and pin us down with deadly accuracy

Lift up your shields!
Follow your captain!
He leads to victory and peace
Stand firm!
Trust his promises!
He knows all and never fails

Train hard!
Armor up!
Although we may fall, we will be saved
Fear not!
Run towards the front line!
There, the bravest face suffering with joy

Do not surrender!
Be strong of heart!
Soon the enemies will become footstools
crushed beneath our heels
Lift up the wounded!
Carry them on your backs!
They are invaluable and favored by the captain

Though night may fall
and darkness envelops
do not fear the invisible
for when we call out
a pillar of fire burns down from heaven
a light unto our feet
a wall of protection

As dawn breaks do not grow weary
Lift up your swords!
Strengthen feeble arms!
Let the name above all renew your soul to fight another day
that it may be said of you
"good and faithful"

The name of our leader is a war-cry
causing fear in the souls of our enemies
Armor up!
