The Elysian Fields

Every blade laid to rest

Through death’s shrineless remedy

Every stain marks the test

Of each timeless memory

When the last breath has ebbed

From this soulless ossuary

As we’re born, we return here alone

Do the souls manifest themselves

Anger and mistrust

When the lives that they cherished

So easily were crushed

As their bones slowly perish

And crumble into dust

So the gods call their warriors home

Pure melody

Raw threnody

Death and rebirth

To the magical madrigal

Born to the shield

Sword and the steel

Dust of the earth

Blown across the Elysian Fields

Every season is signless

For legions of the grave

As the years fall behind us

The centuries remain

But our hearts still remind us

So proud and unashamed

What a legend we carved in this stone

Pure melody

Raw threnody

Death and rebirth

To the magical madrigal

Born to the shield

Sword and the steel

Dust of the earth

Blown across the Elysian Fields

Do the eyes on the endless

Horizon wait for me

Will she die never knowing

How much she meant to me

Will the love that I gave her

Be all she’ll ever need

What remains

When the spirits have flown

Pure melody

Raw threnody

Death and rebirth

To the magical madrigal

Born to the shield

Sword and the steel

Dust of the earth

Blown across the Elysian Fields

Pure melody

Raw threnody

Death and rebirth

To the magical madrigal

Born to the shield

Sword and the steel

Dust of the earth

Blown across the Elysian Fields

Blown across the Elysian Fields
