For several years and counting A pupil and a lead I’ve dedicated years on earth To helping those in need The nights are long and I am sleepless My body sore and weak The hours are relentless Adrenaline has peaked The fear – will to free To kill – by decree To harm – life remains The power to heal runs through my veins Assume – stars align The pain – peace of mind The blame – earn the praise A battle lost, a life decays Light is bright and Focused on the task at hand, I feel the mighty power of gods Night is harsh but revives The night is long and full of terrors; the evil resigns against all odds I shall retain the noblesse Through losses and the wins I must declare and I must share With those whose stare begins The story told, the tears abundant, In sadness or relief As I remain triumphant Or with a sense of grief Light is bright and Focused on the task at hand, I feel the mighty power of gods Night is harsh but revives The night is long and full of terrors; the evil resigns against all odds Light is dim and Scattered through the chamber of death, the smell of failure day in day out Night deserted, night is young and bleak The night is young as darkness falls; the angel of death is roaming about Facts disclosed, guilt exposed, stay composed Beings are warned, bliss is born, none to mourn Life and death In the ring to brawl and dance Which will endure, which will outlast Last or first To accept the reaper To follow to everlasting home Home and time With or from the clan To roll the dice and beg for more More or less Based upon the health Of the vessel on earth
