Glory day! The unlit bridge to victory!
Hazard through the onyx tide
For a glance in the halls of history
Or the empty walls of pride
Glory day! Court keepers take position!
For her, their weakness glows
Keep fear inside and indecision
Hidden from your foes
Raise your weapon at the mob
Armed, but at their mercy
Hearts begin to throb
And cease, and fancy
When pictures hit the press
I’d guess; wary to impress
That reinforcing memories
Exposes less and less
Does it impress my mother?
Will my father find another?
Who brings the joy that glory did
In halcyon days as the miracle kid
Glory days have just begun!
The halcyon paved the way
A monument can be undone
When names are cast in gray
Shadows shake the untouched dust
From a gilded engraving
A metal that will never rust
Is a metal they saw worth in saving
The engraving told of a halcyon day!
When our hearts fostered their pride
We would grow amongst the disarray
Until victoriously misty-eyed
