-. Day and Night .-

On we move without delay

Going while the sun shines bright

Guard up as we're on the way

Ready for ambush or fight

-

Nightfall. Sunlight fades away

Cloaked by dusk in firelight

Resting, we shed our dismay

Sit and eat, become polite

-

Talk and song keep sleep at bay

Some romance, a friendy fight

Then we lie back on the hay

Wishing all our friends good night

-

Is it just a game they play?

In our fear they take delight

Every villager they slay

Is a blatant show of might

-

Every battle, every day

Every fire we ignite

Is in vain, the people say

Dare we kill one dark as night?

-

Still we go, say what they may

Forth, in hope to end our plight

War in perfect disarray

Terror, bloodshed all in sight

-

Must our lives go on this way?

Far from home, from warm streetlight?

From our past we've walked away

To a call, to greater height

-

For our friends, our cause must stay!

For the land, for every right,

We must go, make way, make way!

Last it out, each day, each night.
