Chlorophyllia - Bölzer

My end 'neath the evergreens

An emerald funeral

Where the sky courts my breath

The boughs sing for me

Drunk with wind they lull my eyes to ebb

Oaken heart

Myriad eyes of the great host

Beaming, summoning

My shield arm becoming weightless

As my conscience drifts away

Leave this world behind

The vanquished mortal tomb

Reborn a star divine

Eternal glory

Weep not when they fall

The noble, fair and strong

Their names do cherish well

For all good days to come

Flames lick the skin of the dead to maiden song

The fathers await my return in the golden hall

They sing for their fallen son in spirits high

A blazing heart and walking tall

I smile and abide

The sworddancer’s elegy

Mother lays son aside father to rest

Iron and destiny

The remission of flesh

Unto the earth that birthed it’s end

This battle is all but won

To neglect your sword is self-betrayal

Mother, forgive my vices

Hold me one last time

Mother, do not despair

See you on the other side
