One Nation Under God

Fiery coal midnight skies, produce an encompassing screen for the night
Blackening the moons delicate rays, to overpower unsought glimpses of light
Devouring clouds frosted platinum mold, creating a barrier to cripple nights air
Bringing forth bursts of starlight's dust, creating a haven of opaque mist and subtle glare.

Admists the heart of a blue wave fog, smoke stout risings mutely take their form
Boldly lining sterling skies, constructing a barren shroud of angers heated storm
Delicately dust by rich bronze wings, embraced with strength as widely they spread
All tenderly enveloped within shadowed petite folds, of a golden countries blue, white, and red.

Hosted by our nurtured symbol of freedom, poised proudly among our waving flag
Finely draped with an opaque linen, she shows her patriotism with silkened rags
Portrayed as the beauty of peace, capturing independence and strength within her crown of spiked rods
Liberty remains eternally strong, lest never forgetting one mighty nation under God.
