"A Warrior's Invocation" 

 
I turn to You my God, 

So that You can give me what I can't obtain myself. 

 

Give me God what is left with You, what no-one asks You for. 

 

I ask You not for rest, nor for tranquility,
neither that of the soul nor that of the body, 

I ask You not for not wealth, nor for success, or sanctity. 

So many have already asked You for these gifts, 

That You must now be weary. 

 

Give me God what is left with You, what no-one asks You for 

 

I want risk and restlessness, torment and battle,  

And give them to me now, once and for all,   

For I won't always find the heart to keep asking.
