When comrades call me to the place
Where regiments are falling into line,
hive the right to linger here ,,s =,
mine"
That gush with loud profanities of lust,
Have the right to feast ON life
While friends partake the eucharist OF
dust?
When starlight CLEANS crosses white
Where heroes under sacred sod reclne,
HIVE | the right to look to God
And shout above the kneIl My life is
mime"
