A BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL, INSPIRING song especially for these dark times!, with probably the greatest of all rock guitarists.
This is a great tribute to the warriors of every description, to those who refuse to be shaken, to those who refuse to be broken, to those who will stand fast and strong, and to those fallen in a just cause.
It's just....just....it's fucking HEROIC!!!
I'm not ashamed to say that this song brought tears to my eyes...

Dont shed a tear for me, I stand alone
This path of destiny is all my own
Once in the hands of fate, there is no choice
An echo on the wind, youll hear my voice
Some choose to fall behind, some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path, laden with greed
But its the noble heart that makes you strong
And in that part Im with you all along
The old village lantern is calling me onwards
Leading wherever I go
The old village lantern, a light in the dark
Bringing me closer to home
So when you think of me, do so with pride
Honour and bravery rode by my side
And in your memory, I will remain
I will forever be, within the flame
Now at the journeys end, weve travelled far
And all we have to show are battle scars
But in the love we share, we will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends
