True tragedy is not our death,
nor that our heroes low are laid.
It is that ev'n our tales of them,
are just as doomed to fall and fade.

before his Colts went off
A dead man lying

The edge of this life
The end of this path
Of this legend-less map
From the ledge, it's a sight
Take another step?
I just might
