Death smiles at you and all you can do is smile back

From this weary immortality

We seek release

Life after life we fight for honour

In our wars we try to find peace

Too heavily do we pay

For crimes that were trivial

Too much do we weep

For the sorrow that was never ours

Too much are we judged

Our words cause too much woe

But the day must always end

Back to the same earth, brother, we must go

Yes, I'm back to serious stuff again...but come on! When thoughts such as these pop into your mind, how can you not write them down? These few lines have been inspired by one named Maximus -I just finished watching 'The Gladiator'. It's not the first time but it is such a movie that it gets to me every time.
This is song of the soldier. It is also the song of everyone else.
