A Soul Does Not Bleed

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear. - Thoreau

I'll never forget the blast of the pipes.

The beat of the drum.

The clank of the broadsword.

For God and country baith.

Steadfast in truth and faith.

Those things that are anciently right.

I fight the good fight.

Don't ever try to convince me otherwise.

Especially straight in the eyes ...
