We work quietly  
Pounding metal  
Sharpening our swords  
And donning our shields  
We gather our weapons

Pen, paper, voices, and bodies

As whispers of resistance  
And resolution  
Scurry along the walls  
Through the gutters  
And down the cracks  
To our allies  
Who gather in masses

Unseen

Unheard

So that soon  
We may fight

Like the lion  
We will fight  
Like the eagle  
We will soar  
Like the banshee  
We will scream  
Like the goddess warrior
