We must play our lives like soldiers in the field 
But life is short i'm running faster all the time 
Strength and beauty destined to decay 
So cut the rose in full bloom 

'til the fearless come and the act is done 
A love like blood, a love like blood 

Love and hate fight with burning hearts 
'til legends live and man is god again 
(and self-preservation rules the day no more) 

We must dream of promised lands and fields 
That never fade in season 
As we move towards no end we learn to die
