De-Fi-Ance

Despite all our traumas
And through all our pain
Cast out you disbelievers
We are fighting fit again

We come back ever stronger
Determined to succeed
Ignore us at your peril
We are true in word and deed

We will not yet be buried
There’ll be no laying down of arms
We will cast our living shadow
We really have no qualms

Just because we are not ‘youngsters’
Just because we are not ‘hip’
Doesn’t mean we are less valid
Than the latest one card trick

Our faith remains intact
Our ambition still burns bright
Our resolve is not dimished
Our darkness turns to light

Defiant in our quest
We will not be vanquished
By those who mock our true endeavour
We will yet prevail
