[00:00.00]	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
