A long time ago in a long ago time
there lived an old man who would answer in rhyme,
...
I am my father's son,
of this there is no doubt,
...
Life's blood has quenched the sands on foreign shores of vanquished foes,
but we shall not forget our mates who gave their all,
...
If you always go where you've always gone
if you always do what you've always done,
...
If you're wanting some money
and you need it real quick
...
How would you feel if I told you what's real
is all a degree of perception,
...
He lived with a mortal fear of death
and savoured each and every breath,
...
Take all the sounds you've ever heard
every noise and every word,
...
