As a commander

He will stride above all

.

Snug and sound in his ship

At his call we destroy

.

And I stand at Death's door

Fighting alone but fighting strong

.

We stand at different levels

And I stand higher than he

.

Through brains he works

Giving orders to us all

.

But I survive through luck and skill

From body and spirit I thrive

.

We stand at different levels

And I stand higher than he

.

We are connected

One and the same

.

He is the mind, the orders

I am the body, the actions

.

But even though we are connected

We are still separate

.

And even though he receives all the credit

I was the one who did all the work

.

We stand at different levels

And I stand higher than he
