The ones that wake up first are the ones that look straight into the eyes of dragons that lurk in the dark.
The ones that look straight into the eyes of dragons that lurk in the dark are the first ones to lay their hands on shining sabres.
The ones that lay their hands on shining sabres are the first ones to slay the monsters of ignorance.
The ones that slay the monsters of ignorance are the first ones to be burnt at the stake by fools.

The first ones that fight are the first ones to die.
The first ones that die are the first ones that wake up the others.
