One way to find

A thousand easy ways to meadows green and plain
A thousand easy ways to submit and not stand by
Only one promises fire, only one promises pain
Only one promises victory, only one is hot and dry
... One way to live, and a thousand to die


A thousand easy ways - with trees, grass and light
A thousand easy ways - to castles strong and high
A single hard and rocky - unlit but burning bright
A single far and twisted - to fall into the sky
... One way to the truth, and a thousand to a lie


There lie a thousand ways, chosen by the slaves
There lie a thousand ways, to surrender and live by
And there lies a single way, calling to the braves
There lies a single way, to win but may be die
... One way for the hero, and a thousand for the spy


One way to find, and a thousand to pass by
One way to find, and a thousand to pass by
