The Soldier's Plea for Guidance

The warrior seeks more than just strength; they seek a moral compass: Give me a hero to teach me what's right. Someone to light my way in the night. In the face of conflict, the desire for a righteous cause is paramount: Give me a rifle Give me a fight A trifle of Evil to rightfully smite. A life full of people, for whom I can fight. and a wife who is faithful, to whom I can write.

The ultimate sacrifice is viewed through the lens of protection for the world and the bond of brotherhood: I hope she won't cry but reply with delight that I would die in the fight that the dangers of the world, might be saved from great height. And when I come home from off that swift flight I won't be alone She'll smile so bright I am carried by brothers to my left and my right who unite with their mothers and calm their deep fright and in that sweet hour, filled with such power.
