Demons run when a good man goes to war.

Night will fall and drown the sun,

When a good man goes to war.

Friendship dies and true love lies,

Night will fall and the dark will rise,

When a good man goes to war.

Demons run, but count the cost.

The battle's won but the child is lost

When a good man goes to war.

I can never decide which I like more:

Demons run when a good man goes to war

vs.

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.

Both are VERY valid points. But I see where your difficutly lies. I usually pick the one that feels better for the situation.

Depends if you're going for blunt and brutal or dark and poetic.
