are more likely to be written in response to extremes

soldier whom almost everyone had written off (terrible
 eyesight and almost deaf even before he was
deployed), but he saved his entire company when they
were caught in an ambush. Any ethereals spawned by
this song would put themselves under Michael's
command, though in certain circumstances they would be
wearing Zadkiel's colors.

existence. Anyone on the list with greater experience
of folk music is welcome to chime in.
