This Is A Call To Arms!

I've had just enough time to...   question the call to arms.

Taken in my favourite hotel museum in Malacca, Malaysia.

This is a call to arms!

Weary soldiers, pick up your swords

And fallen shields

Leave your fallen comrades behind

Brace yourself for the onslaught

Though your weary arms refuse to obey

Steel your heart and plunge your steel

Into the heart of your fallen enemy

This is a call to arms!

Defend your country

Defend your brothers

Defend your family

Defend your pride

Defend your manhood

Defend your belief

Defend your religion

Defend your creed

Defend everyone

Defend everything

But…

Who is there to defend me?

_______

Fight For The Kingdom Bound For Glory

Armed With A Heart Of Steel

I Swear By The Brothers Who Stand Before Me

To No Man Shall I Kneel

Their Blood Is Upon My Steel

Blood Is Upon My Steel

Call to arms - Manowar

Safe In Your Arms, Mother Of Mine.

I've had just enough time to...   remember I was safe in your arms, mother of mine

Taken in a sculpturing workshop in Hanoi, Vietnam

I remember though the world

May be crumbling down all around

I was safe in your arms, mother

Safe in your arms, mother

But now I am grown

And can do things on my own

Won’t you let me leave you arms, mother

Let me leave your arms, mother

______

Mother of mine when
I was young
You showed me
The right way things
Should be done

Without your love,

Where would I be?

Mother, sweet mother of mine
