ScrapYard Dogs [-SYD-]

u'Lie still, ye bracken-covered giants, that sleep below the soil,<br>You patient, silent warriors; lie still and wait a while.<br>Ignore the prickles on your hide and wait beneath the stars.<br>Till days grow long and man subsides, you\u2019ll never journey far.<br><br>The parasites that scratch and dig and burrow in your skin<br>Will soon fall off and perish, consumed by fires within.<br>Tis then you\u2019ll shed your mantle and crack the hallowed rock,<br>Released, at last, to fight and die; no beast will stand the shock.<br><br>Remember, in that instant; in death\u2019s unfair embrace<br>How you once fought and won, my friend, then left without a trace.<br>Remember as you fade away, a new life will begin.<br>Remember, as you turn to dust and ride on solar winds;<br><br>That you will gather, one more time, to fight another day.<br>A billion trillion miles for here, you\u2019ll rise and creep and sway;<br>And as you cool and turn to stone beneath some distant sun<br>Lie still and rest another age; a new world has begun.<br><br>Let creatures walk and scramble; they\u2019ll scratch and dig and bore.<br>Lie still my ancient warrior, and take your rest once more.'
