Lament of Endurance

[063whii]

You will not know me,
When next we meet again.
Though I travel onwards,
I have lost my friend.

But we will be together
As we go along the way.
I'll be by your side forever
As we go along the way.

My life you saved from evil foes
Availed of all my tears.
There upon that battleground
Rest your hopes and fears.

But we will be together
As we go along the way.
I'll be by your side forever
As we go along the way.

I called for I to stand with you
But that we could not do.
Here all caught in survivor's throes
I wish I'd stayed with you.

But we will be together
As we go along the way.
I'll be by your side forever
As we go along the way.

And now you rest in noble halls
All hail the virtuous dead!
And is by your life that I do live
I should have died instead.

But we will be together
As we go along the way.
I'll be by your side forever
As we go along the way.
