Gather, Gather, Ye Soliders Of Shadow

Goodnight one more I never knew.
Lay down your head –
Eternal rest.

You time has come; you’ve seen life through.
Goodnight, goodnight –
You tried your best.

So young and yet it is not me.
Why not? – I ask –
When will mine come?
To live life trapped, or live life free,
To live a life –
Devoid of fun.

And so I’ll see you off today.
And Gather, Gather –
Ye Soldiers of Shadow –

Walk still, I’ll try and find my way.
I’ll wander, stray,
I’ll wander, stray.
