Who deseves greatness deserves their hate For they are no surer than the hailstone in the sun Where he should find them brave Where he should find them lions He finds them hares For like hares they run What darker light could one soul bring? Why should his pride have no single sting? The last of his kind, no witness to his grief Their words are empty, a soldier's life being brief Now here's the truth of it The oath it is broken All allegiances, even promises unspoken Will die broken within him To peck the eagles, they brought in the crows Has Rome ever known the value of her own? What darker light could one soul bring? Why should his pride have no single sting? The last of his kind, no witness to his grief Their words are empty, a soldier's life being brief Now here's the truth of it The oath it is broken All allegiances, even promises unspoken Will die broken within him For your voices I have fought Watched for your voices For your voices bear wounds Battles won for your voices
