That moulds the world anew ..-.
And you-and what OF you?
It is better to travel a bloody track
And come home dead or MANNED
1t is better to go and never come back.
Than to stay and die ashamed.

All straight and straight aligned.
When the rattle of drums is gone at last
What is there stays behind
Not a thing remains behind.
