Deeds of rage, total deeds
Fallen from what? What's been lost?
Bloodless life, honorless
Tethered to no earth and tethered to no sky
What's been lost?
Singer, singer, sing in a world without a hero
Singer, singer, sing in a world without the gods
Draw breath…
Prayer, prayer, pray in a world with nothing higher
Prayer, prayer, praying a merely human love
Draw breath…
Fighter, fighter, fighting, with nothing he would die for
Fallen, fallen poem, the history of men
Cano, cano, cano, virumque arma cano
Principium non vidi
I only caught the end
Draw breath
