spears from skies stab hearts and wishes
feverish blows which tear our eyes
then tears extinguish flames of anguish
numbers grow of those who died

in its glorious moment ecstatic
death preceded the livings doubt
now we live with fears unshackled
toast the reaper who waits without

stir the ready in the cauldron
mend the mighty fortress wall
raise the flag unfurl its glory
rise again to answer the call

...just bein' Bluesy
