Warriors

The storm has subsided

The losses have been counted

And the sun is finally shining

Through the mountains of cloud.

Now is the time

For you and me to come together

We have lost the battle

But the war can still be won.

I wait for your visit

With full faith
And call with an open heart

Come!

So you and I may talk business

Strengthen our alliance

And anchor our fraternity

On unsurpassed resilience.

Come, my Brother

My combat partner

Enough time has been spent

Waiting for the inevitable

Now is the time

For you and me to come together

To solidify our forces 

For this battle

We are certain to win.

I call you my Eternal Brother

My combat partner

Not only do you speak

The language of my mother  

Not only do you harken

From the birth-land of my father

Not only are you bound

With me in flesh and blood 

But also you and I

My dearest combat partner

Primarily share one goal

Ever since time was born  

Of winning this epic battle.
