Rise up to submit to the Commander.
It’s time to armor up and draw your sword.
The schemes of the enemy wish to break you,
and make you give up, shut up, and die.
There are so many lost ones in the dark already
who need to know the truth and receive the mark.
The mark of the Commander that is,
which lives and breathes as One of the Three.
Speak the life.
Live the love.
Shine the light.
Hold on long.
Don’t forget to listen.
Fight hard.
Stand your ground.
Find the truth.
Save the lost.
Rescue the weak.
