Description
I left home young, I scarcely remember
Being a lad and learning the way
Of the old wisdom hidden in swordplay
When the war came I enrolled, a beggar
But I unleashed my consuming anger
And waded through blood, through every melée
I rose to command, and all would obey!
And through my skill they came to call me ”sir”

Then, when I returned, I had no more fears
Back as a lion though I left a lamb
I strode with vigour, to scale the last hill
Alas! On the crest I burst into tears
The same war that made me the man I am
Had vanquished my home, such a bitter pill !
