The Fenix Anthem

When soldiers rush into the fray
The swords of foemen meet them
But they fight on till end of day
For death does not deter them
Though we may face defeat
The battle we’ll repeat
We stand to meet the foe
We face their mighty blow
The Fenix still is rising.

Still others labor at their art
By vision they’re inspired
But imperfections pain the heart
When hands and eyes grow tired
Though seams and rivets fail
Though we may weep and wail
We’ll work through day and night
Until we get it right
The Fenix still is rising.

And there are those who live to serve
The path ahead they’re lighting
They rarely get what they deserve
When chaos they are fighting
Though paperwork’s a pain
Though people will complain
The task we’ll never shirk
We’ll go and do that work
The Fenix still is rising.
Together let us all give thanks
For old friends now departed
While new friends come to join our ranks
We are not broken-hearted
Though people come and go
Though winds of time will blow
The dream is fresh and pure
Our barony endures
The Fenix still is rising.
