Faithful Fate

As the road unfolds
and the stars align
dare I walk alone
where the sun won't shine?

I have seen my fate
in what lies ahead
dare I play the cords
that my life unthread?

As a war grows near
I must raise my gun
will I have to shoot?
can it be undone?

I will give my life
for this noble cause
I expect no prize
and no grand applause.
