Mettle

this is your year
the test year
the proving ground

there they stand
warriors bearing swords
no two ways about it

they will kill
they choose that path
loudly without regret

on the other road
people plan to turn
to leave behind the lie

in the dark
you will give support
one way or another

what you do
will color who you are
finally and forever

and everyone will know
despite your mute position
we will know

the cock crows
your denial collapses
with dust and woe
