Home Before Dark

You will be presented, as an even trade,

Childhood, for a free fall to the open grave

You will have the choice, when presented,

To be afraid

To be wary at your post

To be a-quiverin’ in yer boots.

Soldier.

It’s time, you’re a hospice nurse,

Angelica.

You’re a shining star, that’s what you’re worth.
