One by one they followed the sun

One by one until there where none

Two by two to their lovers they flew

Two by two into the foggy dew.



Three by three they danced on the sea

Four by four they danced on the shore

Five by five they tried to survive

Six by six they were playing with tricks.



How many paths did he try and fail

How many of their brothers and sisters linger in jail

How much poison did their inhale

How many black cats crossed their trail.



Seven by seven they head for heaven

Eight by eight their got to the gate

Nine by nine they drank the wine

Ten by ten they drank it again.



How many tomorrows have they given away

How many compared to yesterday

How many more without any reward

How many more can they afford.



Two by two they step into the ark

Two by two they step in the dark

Three by three they're turning the key

Four by four they turn it some more.



One by one they followed the sun

Two by two to another rendezvous

Three by three don't tread on me

Four by four they're loosing the war.



Five by five can't stay alive ......
