This is a folk song in 7/4 about how the virtuous path and the profitable path are often polar opposites.

I would have been there if I lied.
Instead I'm wanting though I've tried.
I took the path where honour leads.
And it seems, that I'm a fool at times.
To even think of pride
will lead to sorrow, regret.
I would rather just forget.
It would be so much better.
It would be so much better.


There are written, rules and morals.
One will use them when it's convenient
otherwise, one discards them.

In pursuit of glittering fortunes,
One will help his fellow brothers
but sometimes, one discards them.


I would have been there if I lied.
Instead I'm wanting though I've tried.
I took the path where honour leads.
And it seems, that I'm a fool at times.
To even think of pride
will lead to sorrow, regret.
I would rather just forget.
It would be so much better.


There are many ways and customs.
One adopts them when it's convenient
otherwise, one ignores them.

On the road to fame and glory
One will help his fallen brothers
but sometimes, one ignores them.


I would have been there if I lied.
Instead I'm wanting though I've tried.
I took the path where honour leads.
And it seems, that I'm a fool at times.
To even think of pride
will lead to sorrow, regret.
I would rather just forget.
It would be so much better.

The road where honour leads is not the road to Glory.
