Lyrics- sound the bugle now, by Bryan Adams

Nightingale turned her head to see Ferdie approaching. She looked down his flank, the wounds and slices raking their story. She stiffened a bit as Ferdie drew close, Bazi's warnings to stay away until they knew more flashing in her head, but relaxed and smiled at him sadly. Even if he did do wrong, she couldn't snap. This was the first wolf that held a gentle paw out to her. The first wolf to give her fresh food and a warm smile.

The first wolf she could remember being nice to her.

She licked Ferdie's chin in an affectionate and soothing manner. They both knew what loomed on the horizon. Once again, death threatened to separate the duo. Cuddling up to his flank, but being as careful as possible as to not make him hurt, she looked up into his eyes before turning to the stars. Softly, she began to sing. A song she felt right at the moment. The crickets stopped their music to listen as the little songbird opened her mouth.

Sound the bugle now
Play it just for me
As the seasons change, remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on
I can't even start
I've got nothing left, just an empty heart
I'm a soldier, wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me, lead me away
Or leave me lying here

Sound the bugle now
Tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know, that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark
Lay right down and decide not to go on...

All of a sudden, Nightingale seemed to sing with more purpose than before, more effort.

Then from on high, somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls, 'Remember who you are!
'If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow
'So be strong tonight
'Remember who you are'

Yeah, you're a soldier now
Fighting in a battle
To be free once more
Yeah, that's worth fighting for!

She looked back at Ferdie and licked his bloody flank, not even caring the salty taste that tinged her tongue. Her eyes began to water again as she worried for what tomorrow will bring.
