Ride hard men of 'Resca, ride hard to the King
We are the reinforcement, we are His protection
They come to change us, how we need to be
We can't let them change us, we must stand for Him.
Come together, Maresca, come to your King
Bring your boymen and bring your sword
Come with your armour, come with your pride
We are all Marescan, let our flag fly.
Leave your children and wife sleeping, say goodbye before dawn
Ride hard to your Kingdom before they take what is ours
We fight for our freedom, we fight for our rights
The Old Ways are past us, we have to move on
Bring with you an image of the 'Resca you love
Bring with you the courage to defend her to death
He will be with us, our God of the Minds
He knows we fight for him, we have given our lives
He has given us Nobility, He has given us Honour
We give him our Chivalry.
Until the Mother sets on the Final Day, we fight for our King
From the First Light to the Final Dusk, we fight for our People
We are Marescans, we stand Together for our Ways
Until we fall, we are the Chivalry of our Lands.

This is outstanding material, and brings with it an understanding deeper than just the show of courage. It cries with the soveriegnty of thought towards the subject. The inclusion of your final line 'Until we fall, we are the Chivalry of our Lands' was an excellent close.
A very strong and well thought out write.
Thank you for entering and sharing.
