The lion of the Senate has passed. Who will take his place? Who will roar as passionately? Who will take up the fight for the health and welfare of the pride? Who will give up so much for so many? Who will show their underbelly, and suffer the slings and arrows of the enemy?

We will stand for the lion! We will continue his roar! We were lost, but he never ceased his roar! We followed the sound! We have come home, and now we stand to protect the pride! Our coats of many colors unite, and we honor the Lion's passion for humanity!

Stand fast! Throw back your heads, and roar! Beware, enemy, beware! The pride has awakened!
