Some will battle darkness and some will combat light

All of them unarmed, go forward to the fight.

An early leap, perhaps, then slowly to the fray

Reincarnation lay six short steps away

These faceless men, a score shy four,

Lead church and state into this war.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
