Where death awaits: a soldier's vows

I jumped into the river

to drink the water from it's end.

I'm floating down the river

to where death awaits.

My love, don't wait for me, 

keep the words that I have said

to you, and the prayers you say

for me, I will, till the end.

Low is the moon and high the tides-

it's not a time to hesitate.

I heed the vultures' call,

I'll answer them all,

from the river's end.

My instructions have been clear:

There's only one i need to fear

when i'll be ready to die, 

and to kill too.

I'll always follow the stars,

fight for them in any war,

against the strange looking man,

and his god too.

For the children of men

who sleep sound at night,

I will follow the river 

all the way to

where it ends;

I'll follow it down 

to where death awaits.

I jumped into the river,

I'll drink the water from it's end

I'm floating down the river

to where death awaits.
