Analysis of Bare
Walk forward young man
Pick up that spear
Defend your honor
All you hold dear
Direction points
To the opposite side
Control your fear
Let it fly
You need no weapon
For this evil plight
Tomorrow brings
Us home tonight
Wander straight
Hold true your course
Let the moment
Endue your force
