    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

        It would depend on which shell you were using...  sh, bash, csh, ksh, tcsh, zsh, etc., etc., etc.
