The Rising

We have lain here in utter waste and stagnated,
While opportunities have been sown and impregnated.
We must rise and drink until we are sated!

We have fared much better than some,
And now our time has come.
We must rise and take back our Kingdom!

We remember the glory of our breed,
We have carefully nurtured the dormant seed.
Now we must rise and take the lead!

We come together and join hands,
As we look towards the lush lands.
We prepare as our army rises and stands!

Long have we suffered foolish banter and prattle,
We refuse to cow down as docile cattle.
Now we rise and prepare for battle!

We burn through heresy and lies,
And forge ahead to claim our prize.
We are ready, now we rise!
