there’s a place where kindred spirits gather-<\/p>\n
where the souls of men are made stronger<\/p>\n
and no barrier can stand the deep hunger,<\/p>\n
the deep resolve to move farther, together<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
where each draws from within and without<\/p>\n
contending with the demons of his fears<\/p>\n
breaking barriers with visage so fierce<\/p>\n
to bring forth a gem from the ashes of doubt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mother Muse watches and lends a hand<\/p>\n
as the souls of men swirl\u00a0 and soar<\/p>\n
and with a victory chant, roar:<\/p>\n
“We’re unconquerable as a band!”<\/p>\n
