your duty is to serve without a pause
those who are worse than you and who
must hurt
your heart and soul and give you
justest cause
to overturn them and cast into dirt
all of their forces you must
disconcert
those who expect that you are just a
pawn
who do not think that you get your
desert
night lasts its time but the earth
turns to dawn
the ones who always get loudest
applause
are those who in their way have to
assert
entitlement both to tears and guffaws
it takes you little effort to exert
your claim to justice that is not
covert
against a force that is not soon
withdrawn
it is no easy matter to assert
night lasts its time but the earth
turns to dawn
we find it written in a complex
clause
that scholars have no reason to
pervert
reason is subject to no human laws
we must to basic principles revert
and from its course the evil power
divert
by dint of honesty as well as brawn
until the force of terror lies inert
night lasts its time but the earth
turns to dawn
prince we are flattered you have not
been curt
and have not chosen our hopes to
subvert
these are the times when hopes are
not yet gone
we might with many choices have to
flirt
night lasts its time but the earth turns to dawn
