For you I've traveled long in tribe She never left my side Then I told her of the war The Deed against the Word The endless fight Courage for everything they said Silence for every deed they preyed And where she stepped the grass did grow Another layer of soil beneath her ancient eyes Courage for everything they said Silence for every deed they preyed I have fought the good fight in Dreams - Inert all else In Deeds I have quietly watched - then wrote it all down She sailed away on the warming seas She kept her eyes turned away from me
