Never

Never forget
Never forgive
Learn how to die
Learn how to live

Only slow down
To pace yourself
Don't give over your fate
To someone else

But believe in faith
And the ancient ones
Create your own vision
See that it's done

Explore the world
Bend with the wind
Learn that pre-emptive
Is a way to defend

Find a way in
Draw up a way out
Discretion and valor
But don't dwell on the doubt

Defeat the wrong
Embrace the right
Short or long
Fight your own fight

Enjoy your life
Take the time
To forge the will
Of a spring steeled mind

Create your back-ups
Have other plans
Or work your creativity
As the moment demands

Never ask for mercy
Never beg or crawl
Because it'll never be enough
Even if they take it all

Take'm down with you
Never be their slave
Sometimes there's only the entrance
To the hall of the brave
