there’s a place where kindred spirits gather-

where the souls of men are made stronger

and no barrier can stand the deep hunger,

the deep resolve to move farther, together

 

where each draws from within and without

contending with the demons of his fears

breaking barriers with visage so fierce

to bring forth a gem from the ashes of doubt

 

Mother Muse watches and lends a hand

as the souls of men swirl  and soar

and with a victory chant, roar:

“We’re unconquerable as a band!”
