I stood a mile afar

Your body laid gently in state

Begone lost hero: you contaminate!

But that body will soon germinate


Your memories grow dark....

When will you be back?

Before the goodbye,

the Sun, jet-black, was dyed

The moon was lost; we looked to the Northern star

But she too was nowhere to be found; she escaped the fear
Only your eternal night draws near
Your memory with ageing night grow darker

I wonder......when will you be back?


Before your goodbye

Mourners in your room dispatched

But their tears assembled in your name to depart

That be your rite of passage: sail fine!

With you, carry away the curse on man

Be our sacrificial lamb and cleanse our land


I wail and wait patiently: when will you be back?


Before the goodbye: gentle soul

Everyone avoided your path,

Yet we loved you so

Son of man! Save our lives

The ageing doom denies you your rites

Sail home against the storms

You defy the odds!!
