"
To die in a garden of flowers, you live in a trench
No one's going to lavish your grave with tears
of petals, if you never bothered to brandish
a sword and fight for something 

Thus spoke Zarathustra; you must count
every curse and meet her with an intimate
kiss, a lover on a journey up a mountain
It will end when you fall on your knees

Humbled, yet stronger 

In life there is the hissing rain, the wicked
winds of witches and the lonely black sky
which is infested with the howls of 
hungry wolves, ravenous ravens - all longing for flesh

and (I call that an opportunity) to embrace

Every single daunting task
is the impetus for daring
Every boulder we push,
we beat back the limit of our weaknesses

Be the knight that leaves the castle,
slays a dragon

To die in a garden of flowers
