Songs and poetry:The soldier



For Kin, Lord and Duty, for Justice or around her,
A step, then one more, a hit and a counter
You shatter in pain and fall to a knee
Is it of anger or blood the curtain you  see?

But defeated is only the one who stays down!
While breathing, stand up, uphold your renown!
Don't die in a way that you learned to condemn
You stand up, brace yourself and go back at THEM!

Go dive into battle like you dive in the sea
There's no other home for you or for me
So just rise, rise  again and give THEM the fight
There's no night, there's no day, there's just will and might

There's anger and the drums of your blood in your ears
There's no step back, there's just pride to silence the fears
Go break them, wave after wave and still one wave more
Strike! Feint! Cut!  Smite a road behind and before

To argue is fool's wine and a weakling's excuse
To stay out today and be of no use
To ponder at reasons the next and the next day
To polish forever "wise"  words they will say

What stands true and noble today madness they'll call
So just embrace your madness and give it your all
Spit fire, wipe blood, shout thunders, lose doubts
For drowning THEIR will and quenching THEIR shouts!

There's no bridge back, there's shards and there's fire
There's no better or worse thing to die for, all is ire
Go burn, soldier, burn for your creed of today
You kick it, you bite it, you do it your way!

Get up once again and bring THEM the fight!
Your mistress and child and mother alike,
It's only the battle you're master and slave to
So go back at it and do what you do!

You don't chose your last day, for it chooses you.
The one thing you chose is what YOU will do
You crumble in dirt, broken, and cry
Or get up? Pick your weapon! And choose how you die!
