Veteran

The last to fall, the first to call
 Veteran! Veteran!
 Founder of cities, protector of lands
 Veteran! Veteran!
 Ode to longevity, ambassador of survival
 Veteran
 Compelled by reflections of life
 Perceive its equations as a whole
 Made a warrior by his own merit
 Built on the foundation of limitless audacity!
 Passion for discovery, knowledge and control
 Repelled infesting turbans,
 driven by feverous cross
 This is the story of our land!
 This is the tale of a veteran!
 Deeply lined farsighted eyes
 Pierce, through convincing lies
 And if he's told to believe in them
 He outlines a cynical smile
 Born early, a premature child
 Keen to war (no baby cries)
 Ready to confront the raging vile
 In his crusade for independence
 Veteran! Veteran!
 From mountain peaks to vast shores and seas
 He wrote his fate
 Led armies towards their native soil
 From mountain peaks to vast shores and seas
 He wrote his fate
 Drove sultans to their native soil
 Wake up from your well deserved rest
 Concealed for eras
 Dire threats have erupted
 From below a perverse mantle
 Not stirred by weapons of wood and steel
 That you know only too well
 But by greed, ignorance
 And delirious cravings
 Veteran
 People are demoralized, helpless
 Veteran
 Raise a flag, lead the way
 Summon your unshakable determination
 Remember who you are
 All the challenges you overcame
 Although the flesh may have softened
 Your bones will never break
 And they'll beat the test of time
 And resist until the end!
 Veteran fight once more
 Resist until the end!
 Lead the way, raise a flag
 Resist until the end!
