Chlorophyllia

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
