Sad veil of silver hides her face Frozen in silent grief Long years have passed her by Long years of solitude And loss so bitter and cold In memoriam, immortalis There is no better end than this No greater glory A simple man is forged A swift blade of dawn There is no letter coming back No final words to hear Only trumpets' fading sound And a name on a golden plate Oh, how the shadows yearn During the long hours of nightfall How rustling leaves dance by the cold gravestone Like telling life is here but a memory There is no better end than this No greater glory A simple man is forged A swift blade of dawn There is no letter coming back No final words to hear Only trumpets' fading sound And a name on a golden plate He chose immortality Hail the victorious death Your name will be remembered Your deeds will carry on She had to submit to her fate A widow for a hero alone with the grief Unknown to the world In memoriam, immortalis
