When ancient gray-haired Saturn, worn by war 
to stop Pluto from conquering Olympus, 
stumbles in battle to guard Liberty, 
Minerva, wielding thunderbolt Zeus dropped, 
leaps forward to oppose cruel tyranny 
with eyes that pierce his shield of greedy lies. 

Though Saturn long preserved democracy 
against the greedy tyrant and his minions, 
who deceived people with elaborate scams 
to steal their money and land with vile tricks, 
he trembles with bleak weariness of age, 
worn weak from protecting us with strong love. 

Handing sharp-honed sword of Excalibur 
to strong young hand of Minerva with trust, 
Saturn retires from bitter field of war 
to rest while bold Goddess of Liberty 
leads people of Zarathia to fight 
against King Midas and his gang of thieves. 

Resting from his long struggle against greed 
beside sparkling stream in Elysium, 
Saturn sees through dim haze of weariness 
Moneta leading Phoebus to his grove 
who strums gold lyre of Mercury and sings 
heart-warming psalm with eerie voice of hope. 

Rest well, great warrior of democracy, 
whose courage bore equal justice for all 
by enforcing civil rights for every soul, 
and close your eyes, Saturn, to rest in peace 
as we continue battle to oppose 
oppressive exploitation of the tyrant. 

This difficult task, that requires bold love, 
defending Justice based on honest law 
for every person living on this Earth, 
which Saturn performed to enforce the truth, 
now wily Minerva performs with courage 
to lead us all in war for Liberty. 

Bright torch of freedom, that Saturn long held 
high with unwavering commitment of faith 
to light our way through ghastly storms of fear, 
Minerva now bears with strong hand of truth, 
so we unite and follow with brave hearts 
her star-spangled banner to fight for love. 

While Saturn meditates in cave of dreams, 
resting after his fight to maintain freedom, 
Minerva wields Sword of Justice and Truth, 
and bears Torch of Freedom in strength of love, 
to defend Pyramid of the God-Eye 
where Liberty rules our United Nations.
