(so I’ve posted it upside down. drat!)
You may think and feel that you’re on a wheel
that ever goes ‘round and ‘round,
but I’ve been “Nowhere” and I promise you fair
that the promise I make is sound.
Yes, I felt like you and one day I knew
I’d delivered the fatal blow,
For each time I thought I had fought for naught,
I was wrong, as I came to know.
For each time I fell and I visited Hell
My strength was a tempered steel,
Like the warrior’s blade from the fire made,
And I knew my courage was real.
So at your lowest time just recall this rhyme
And remember these words my friend,
That the demon dies a bit at a time
When you face the swine to the end!
