TheAncients conceived and believed in the dream of
Agolden land where the vanquished abide,
Thosehero-inhabited hallowed halls,
The splendor of Valhalla.
Andthe warrior weathers the
Flamesof distress without fear or regret
Forhe knows in the end
Hisreward will surpass any
Woundshe may bear
Ashonor becomes his most trusted friend.
Withvalor and verve, he soars his spirit
Tounnerving heights on rarified air.
Notask too consuming,
Noquest out of question,
Hefights the brave fight to
Defendwhat is fair.
Hemust not fail.
Hewill not fail.
Thisvaliant sentinel of war.
Andwhen his sword and shield shall rest
Hestrolls Valhalla forevermore.
