They came to terms with their mortality,
And sang “Alleluias” in worship’s dance, All set to fight to keep their country free, And win-another country’s renaissance.. They looked their own mortality full square Into the eyes, - “Alleluia” they sang- They were seen dancing bravely over there, And clapping hands amidst their weapons’ clang. Oh they grew tall, so tall that they can claim Before the battle started victory; For death these brave already overcame- They came to terms with their mortality. None grows, nor soldier nor civilian Who cannot look death full-square in the eyes, But oh! how blessed are all those that can, And feel the spirit overcome demise..
