What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
This is the best time of the day?the dawn
2
The final cleansing breath unsullied yet
3
By acrid fume or death?s cacophony
4
The rank refuse of unchained ambition
5
And pray, deny me not but know me now,
6
Your faithful retainer stands resolute
7
To serve his liege lord without recompense
8
Perchance to fall and perish namelessly
9
No flag-draped bier or muffled drum to set
10
The cadence for a final dress parade
11
But it was not always thus?remember?
12
Once you worshipped me and named me a god
13
In many tongues and made offering lest
14
I exact too terrible a tribute
15
Take heed for I am weary, ancient
16
And decrepit now and my time grows short
17
There are no honorable frays to join
18
Only mean death dealt out in dibs and dabs
19
Or horror unleashed from across oceans
20
Assail me not with noble policy
21
For I care not at all for platitude
22
And surrender such tedious detail
23
To greater minds than mine and nimbler tongues
24
Singular in their purpose and resolve
25
And presuming to speak for everyman
26
Oh, for another time, a distant field
27
And there a mortal warrior?s lonely grave
28
But duty charges me remain until
29
The end the last battle of the last war
30
Until that ?morrow render unto me
31
That which is mine my stipend well deserved
32
The fairest flower of your progeny
33
Your sons, your daughters your hopes and your dreams
34
The cruel consequence of your conceit
