War to Wage.

Every man has three missions, three wars he must wage

He must conquer his father, which then sets the stage

To next conquer his demons, relinquish his shame

And not damn his son to waging war on the same.

Every man so far has thought himself a conqueror of old

And every man so far has been a total failure, truth be told

Every man has lost his war, and passed his shame onto his boys

And every boy so far has grown to long to stop his ceaseless noise

And pass that same warfare to all they talk to.
