Otherworld

Where ere thou hast been,

here or in yon world manifest?

Canst thou tell

what is, or what was, or what is to come?

Nothing shall last

And there are things that shall never change

History is written in blood,

yet are battles really lost on the battlefields?

Canst thou tell me whence thou comest

and where thou goest

and what is, or what was, or what is to come?

For everything remains as it never was
