| [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 |
