As shadows fall, memory etched in stark contrast
Fragments of pain burst in sunlight
Fire swallows courageous hearts
Time stretches and remembers all. The day fades on the heroic heart born in battle
The peace of night descends in lingering pain
The death of yesteryear chasms into the abyssal sands of time
The fiery perfection of the soul never changes Shadows swallow for a time
Stay is to truly die
Step into the light of morning
Stray back home to all who remember Honor remains as we carry the dead
Voices whisper in the dark
Ghostly figures seen in day
We remember friends who are no more Death Song for the Commoner
