A Soldiers Creed

The path is straight ahead
no curves, no bumps, no turns in sight

My destiny has been chosen for me
at long last I realize the truth of my nature

Now I must bide my time and prepare
they are coming, I will not be afraid

God has given me the instinct and the will
I must dig deep into that and pull the strength

He kept me hidden from their view for years
hoping the swords and spears never fell

They are coming, I will not be afraid
I will face them one by one until the bitter end
