Yeah, sure chief, why not...I'm not sure if this is really "instant", since I spent like eight minutes on it, but that's pretty quick for me...
Capre Diem, seize the day
All old soldiers fade away
Good soldiers go in fiery blaze
Never have to endure old age
Never have to face the gloom
Of hours lost in a quiet room
Nothing to do, nothing to say-
All old soldiers fade away.
Capre diem, seize the day
All old soldiers fade away
Ash and Dust and cold, grey Earth
Unending cycles of death and birth
The World is young, but they are not
Just heroes that the World forgot.
The World they fought for, in younger days-
All old soldiers fade away
Capre Diem, seize the day
All old soldiers fade away
The general, from his station
Surveys his troops in perfect formation
Long lines of cold, white stone
And the noble Sun going down alone
And there, the General quiety cries
With the last of the light, an old soldier dies. When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
