Intro:reciting "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by W. B. Yeats |
| [00:11.04] |
I know that I shall meet my fate |
| [00:13.59] |
Somewhere among the clouds above; |
| [00:17.43] |
Those that I fight I do not hate, |
| [00:20.58] |
Those that I guard I do not love; |
| [00:23.75] |
My country is Kiltartan Cross, |
| [00:26.09] |
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor, |
| [00:28.43] |
No likely end could bring them loss |
| [00:31.41] |
Or leave them happier than before. |
| [00:33.25] |
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, |
| [00:36.32] |
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, |
| [00:39.29] |
A lonely impulse of delight |
| [00:43.07] |
Drove to this tumult in the clouds; |
| [00:45.21] |
I balanced all, brought all to mind, |
| [00:48.94] |
The years to come seemed waste of breath, |
| [00:51.33] |
A waste of breath the years behind |
| [00:53.94] |
In balance with this life, this death. |
| [01:00.50] |
from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" By William Butler Yeats |
| [01:04.50] |
cue the music |
| [01:21.28] |
Why do I have to fly |
| [01:27.42] |
Over every town up and down the line? |
| [01:34.59] |
I'll die in the clouds above |
| [01:39.90] |
And you that I defend, I do not love |
| [01:47.14] |
I wake up, it's a bad dream |
| [01:51.41] |
No one on my side |
| [01:54.90] |
I was fighting |
| [01:57.29] |
But I just feel too tired |
| [02:01.64] |
to be fighting |
| [02:03.98] |
Guess I'm not the fighting kind |
| [02:14.56] |
Where will I meet my fate? |
| [02:20.53] |
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate |
| [02:27.50] |
And when will I meet my end? |
| [02:33.35] |
In a better time you could be my friend |
| [02:40.05] |
I wake up, it's a bad dream |
| [02:44.75] |
No one on my side |
| [02:48.13] |
I was fighting |
| [02:50.63] |
But I just feel too tired |
| [02:54.86] |
to be fighting |
| [02:57.40] |
Guess I'm not the fighting kind |
| [03:01.39] |
Wouldn't mind it |
| [03:03.77] |
If you were by my side |
| [03:08.28] |
But you're long gone |
| [03:10.79] |
Yeah you're long gone now |
| [03:24.19] |
Where do we go? |
| [03:30.68] |
I don't even know |
| [03:37.49] |
My strange old face |
| [03:41.99] |
And I'm thinking about those days |
| [03:48.72] |
And I'm thinking about those days |
| [04:23.75] |
I wake up, it's a bad dream |
| [04:28.31] |
No one on my side |
| [04:31.66] |
I was fighting |
| [04:33.82] |
But I just feel too tired |
| [04:37.95] |
to be fighting |
| [04:40.80] |
Guess I'm not the fighting kind |
| [04:44.98] |
Wouldn't mind it |
| [04:47.38] |
If you were by my side |
| [04:51.65] |
But you're long gone |
| [04:53.99] |
Yeah you're long gone now |
| [05:00.37] |
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah |
| [05:05.06] |
