Keep on walking!

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou unlucky one,

open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

O thou unlucky one,

trample the thorns under thy tread,

and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

O thou unlucky one,

with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart

and let it burn alone.

Today, the war is done,

and today you have won.

Ill carry my shame tonight,

with lullabies of the fading light.

But tomorrow I will wake,

and a solemn oath i will take.

Tomorrow, another war there will be,

with all I have there I will be.

I will walk every turn,

Through the rain I will burn.
