This too shall pass

We will march into the future

Eyes wide open

To mistakes we made

The debts we paid

This too shall pass

We make our path

We forge ahead

We stand fast and strong

We incurred our wrath

We buttered our bread

We cowered in corners

We avenged the wrong

This too shall pass

We will get to the other side

Better prepared, more in tune

Less of who we once were

For we have slain ourselves

We have played the victor and the victim

We have won a coward’s battle

And lost a warrior’s creed
