It was all in my head far from the tail
But another philosophy and a far fetched fairytale
I gave it a time though it was my only clock
And it started to rain on me even harder when I try to block,
...
Give me the scorn of the stars and a peak defiant;
Wail of the pines and a wind with the shout of a giant;
Night and a trail unknown and a heart reliant.
Give me to live and love in the old, bold fashion;
A soldier's billet at night and a soldier's ration;
A heart that leaps to the fight with a soldier's passion.
