There is an ethos in normal life
Says to those a-sleeping, cause no strife
If ill is done when backs are turned
Many bridges have we burned.
But of this thought, child beware
Of often finding trouble there
Adheres not war to cordial rules
And those who will are played for fools.
If evil sleeps, child kill it there
For should it wake, so much despair
Yes, if evil ever turns it's back
Child, strike and strike, against the black
For in ev'ry place lets darkness lie
They find it is the good that dies.
Should evil just once look away
Child aim true, and haste the day.
Wherever hate should rear it's head
Truth is always left for dead
Its wicked tongue and dragon's teeth
Many will be those who weep
Child, do not, do not let it sleep.
