Duty was written by me as one of these things when I moved my mind out my "etc" and it was thinking ahead since I am not in politics. It came from Boy Soldier but also the Microsoft early you can fly into the "Empire Building" stuff. Bush and Blair became the ones on the hill who would be grand and this applies to North Korea and Iran and everyone else. The question I ask them is this "How far from Reality are You" and can you take a long "lunch break, while we get on with life" Boy Soldier I will put underneath 'Duty' Duty was originally written at 03.41 19/12/1999. Dave Duty On a mountain side I sing To the trees I would bring Wind to drift their gentle boughs To wave for me In my lonely tower Looking far into the life That governs this country free of life That pities the wind that freezes the soul That consumes us all naked and whole Looking far into my life Stark staring wind is my knife Plunging into my heart break Wind my friend I am yours to take I raise my eyes to your shadow The sun threads between your thoughts I let the grey enveloped me I have no retort I watch the trees waved To give you, your servant dear I watch the darkness in the valley Move to the cherised symbol there As we agreed You sacrifice All you hold so dear And I will shortly join you Facing my own fear They look aloft and never see below Unless it pleases them They are the lofty folk The world dreams of them I wait here with the rest Knowing I will die They will die magnificently I bye and bye People will remember them For their sacrifice The towers burnt in flames of smoke Their bodies billowing high I will die with these men Who will curse as they kill That they who want their loved ones Should be fodder for the mill We will die for ignorance For the land that could But will wait Until alone they stood In their confidence The world can not touch them In reality Dominate a few Tortue a few Frighten many Put militia against trained men Put the cock against the hen And I will die To hold a force that tries To dominate the world Without my dying words heard I will call to the wind that makes a mountain fair I will see my thoughts echo I see you standing there Storms above challenge my regard Dancing on my soul Raining through the shard I call to the wind Explosive as it flows Carry my wish As far as you can go Dave 29/01/1998 version And Bloody Heroes Too My face is in the earth My feet are digging to The sky is flashing light My stomach flashes too Nobody else is left I should have gone with them But when they went to advance I hid behind my tomb Now no-one has come back But I hear the marching feet I look at the steel at night Can someone beat retreat I wait for that death Dishonourable I know It doesn't matter how you die It just matters how you go I have no qualms for my coward's life I've lived it all I could I didn't wish to be here I don't want to be good I started at the bottom With the heroes right on top But when the killing came They all felt they should stop So they send us out poor souls With all their fancy words And told us we were heroes And we would get what we deserved Now we are all dead They still breed anew And raise their glasses up to us And bloody heroes too.
