[Music by Thor Georg Buer; Lyrics by R. Michael Cook]Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'We are not now that strength which in old dayMoved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;One equal temper of heroic hearts,Made weak by time and fate, but strong in willTo strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.[- Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses 65-70]Share not the cup I have wantonly sipped:the cradle that has been finally tipped.In fool’s garb do I before thee appear,with signs and sounds fit for stirring fear.yet the mask hides what is truly betweenmy emerald eyes and the jewels that are seen.First we eat, then we drink,then we sing ourselves hoarseto the ever brightening sun.Tread ye not, now, where I have failed.That spirit has flown, that ship has sailed.My feet have failed to dance the steps,and for bare bones I have loved and wept;arrayed am I in burning, Trojan goldfor the sake of He who’s name I holdFirst we eat, then we drink,then we sing ourselves hoarseto the ever brightening sun.
Lyrics by A Hill To Die Upon
