The Soldier's Virtue
The Soldier's virtue is Courage presented in a special light
Be careful thy don't adorn thy house more than thy soul
Oh "Moving stair of time"
To suffer a wrong is an evil
But to inflict one is much worse
Even the best of men have failed to teach this to their own sons
When Kingdoms fall and Countries are torn apart
And fear strikes in full force
When all attempts of peace have been exhausted
The price for corruption is often paid in innocent blood
