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
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, your a soldier now,
Fighting in a battle,
To be free once more.
Yeah, that's worth fighting for....

Jack Harkness' personality is fatalistic, and wilfully enigmatic; Jack is fond of his persona of 'mysterious time traveler,' much of which remains constant in his experiences with Torchwood and the Doctor. He sometimes take to saying "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.", much like the Doctor, when something particularly tragic happens to someone. Prior to being cursed with immortality, Jack Harkness was a flippant time traveler and former con man who loved adventuring with the Doctor and seducing beings throughout the galaxy as a termed Omnisexual.
Subsequent to his resurrection, Jack becomes morbid and his repeated experiences with near-death brings him to an existentialist philosophical viewpoint. While he jokes about gray hairs and remains silent about mortality, Jack sees death as the ultimate end of being; there is no afterlife and no one waiting for him from his past lives. Always being a focal unreliable narrator of his own adventures, Jack Harkness is much of a mystery to the people he encounters as much as the countless numbers of lives he has claimed to have led. Jack continues to protect himself with an air of mystery, considering no one he has encountered thus far knows his real name or many details about his career or life. Regardless, he often tells anecdotes about his sex life, however,no one knows how many are real or how many are fabricated.
If you looking for a good time, drop Jack a line and he will get back to you soon.
