wardrums in the midnight

trumpets sounding clear

drives it home to one and all

now is the time of fear

not to cripple us and paralyze

but to warn us and not surprise

when evil comes to kill and maim

to relish in its wicked flames

to murder rape and scar with pain

and so i brandish heavy sword

to help the broken lost afford

the price of peace though dear the cost

i shall not let their lives be lost

i shall battle i shall fight

along with wardrums in the night

for i am the Warrior, proud and strong

wardrums beat, to the steeled song

and when the war is said and done

where once were many there shall be none

i'll slay my foes every one

to save the elder and the young

the wardrums still..the song is done

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

'Christmas in Prison' John Prine
