The Amazons Ride

Descended from Strife and Symmetry
Warriors of ancient lore
To restore health and Harmony
The Amazon’s ride to War

The Martial Queen with her ivied shield
A strong memory of spiritual power
Leads her warriors into battle
At this essential echoed hour

She faces the foe with the weight of love
The blazing heart of a swan
From the strength of a circle of women
Comes the light of a glistening new dawn
