Nudes thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door
The postman muttered something about wishing he could go too
And handed over a yellow envelope
It was a command long overdue that called for healthy
Young men

In reply to your request
Please find
I hereby protest
To the ways and means you use
You know
I cannot refuse

So I'll take this vow
Of loyalty
Fight for the right
You have said
To be free

When this time has run its course
I must
Live without remorse
For the deeds I'm bound to do
I know
It's all the same to you

But I won't forget
The memory
Taking a life
For a life
To be free
