When glory beckons
With no regrets
On this day of sorrow

The course now set
End of life converges
A sweet release

Away from turmoil
To find peace


Death now approaching
Where is victory?
At one with the earth

For all eternity
Pride now forgotten
Fighting for life

Strenght decreasing
Twisting the knife


Now to leave - departure of the soul
With relief - eternity unfolds


Do not be sad - the pulse now gone
The war of life continous - this battle now is won


Mourn no more - reaching eternal rest
Remember with no sadness - the final request


Now to leave - departure of the soul
With relief - eternity unfolds
