Your command is this
Despite your choice to take or leave this quest,
you'll make your way toward the darkened wood,
you'll carry out the mission that others could,
who died while running out of youth and zest,
and you will die and take the place of those
of whom I give account concerning death.

You will join the ranks
Despite your hate or love toward this war
you'll give your name to dolls and tales of stone
so kids can call you GI Joe and own
a piece of guts and might, and join the corps
so they can die and call on kids to buy
the tale of boyish deeds and glori'us lies.

You will write your tale
Despite the truths or lies of war and hell
the story you will write will sell and earn
the ears of boys and girls so they will learn
to be my faithful servants who smile and tell
their government issue stories of techno-war
and swift response to evil deeds abroad.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

-- Magus
