    The movers move, the shakers shake, the winners write their history
    But from high on the high hills it all looks like nothing"

    my signature is from an Army song too
    I can't speak highly enough of them

    A bit obscure, but 65daysofstatic have a track called "White Peak/Dark Peak".
