The Love for the Dead - Invictus, André Wall, Norman Wall

A slumber did my spirit seal;

I had no human fears:

She seemed a thing that could not feel

The touch of earthly years

The love for the dead, the love for the dead

No motion has she now, no force

She neither hears nor seas

Rolled round earth’s diurnal course

With rocks, and stones and trees

The love for the dead, the love for the dead

The Love, the love, the love, the love

For the dead

A slumber did my spirit seal;

I had no human fears:

She seemed a thing that could not feel

The touch of earthly years

The love for the dead, the love for the dead

The Love, the love, the love, the love

For the dead

No time there was to say goodbye

But what is left?

A tear, a sigh

And the love for the dead

The love for the dead

The love for the dead, the love for the dead

The Love, the love, the love, the love

For the dead
