Northern Star
Dark winter – Light summer
Guide my way
Watch my heart
Lead me home
And when the clouds come
With no line to hold
Have me remember
With conquered fear
The true legend once told
This is the Day
I'm not a soldier
I've never been to war
Though in battle – I stand my ground
I'm a warrior – to the core
One thousand years in occupied country
It's still not yours to give away
So listen up – little King Fly
Who ever you are
What ever you say
I don't want your mercy
Time's up my friend
Live free or die – This is the day
True Norseman – I toe no line
(unless I want to)

Hail to you who spoke
Hail to you who can

– final verse –
Songs of the High One
Listen to understand; then, you can speak.
Be a person, not an arrogant 'giant'.
We're all singing the final verse.
There is no middle ground.
Choose wisely.
The days are numbered.

Och det var nyttigt för dem att få fara omkring och se hur stora de
var, jordens länder och hav. Därhemma trodde de att Sverige var
hela världen, och därför blev människorna i landet så självgoda.
– Di skulle läsa geografiböcker! Inföll Robert.
Det skulle de göra, istället för att syssla med nästans gärning som inte
angick dem, menade Jonas Petter: Om man därhemma råkade släppa en
morgonfis vid husknuten, så sprang folk omkring med den tills den genljöd
i hela häradet. Men hans far nyttjade en gammal god morgonpsalm:
Lyd Guds bud och stilla vandra!
Sköt dig själv och skit i andra!

On the Art of War
II. Waging War #6
Sun Tzu
❦
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self–evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation
on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will
dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that
… Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferable, then to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now
the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny
over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Now, in order to kill the enemy,
our men must be roused to anger;
that there may be advantage from defeating the enemy,
they must have their rewards.

The most terrifying force of death comes from
the hands of men who wanted to be left alone.
They try, so very hard, to mind their own business
and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the
force and permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know that the moment they fight back,
their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the men who wanted to be left alone
are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide.
They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when
forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight
with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.
They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed
by those who are merely play–acting at politics and terror.
True terror will arrive at these people's door,
and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy…
but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the
men who just wanted to be left alone.

My friend
These words are for you
Behind the line
It's so easy to see
Though lonely as hell
If you want to be free
All my life
Been looking out
In twilight
And Offworld
Keep going
Keep going
