Goodbye My Friend

A quiet breeze blows across the lake
The distant storm makes my beating heart quake

The heavens fall in the rain
Their tears are the shadow of all our pain
For our fallen friend who lies now slain

She has taken the path through deaths open door
And uncovered the secrets of a far distant shore
To join with the ranks that are with us no more

We remember her shining and beautiful face
That brought light to our darkened and violent race
Go swiftly my friend to the goddesses embrace
We shall meet again in some secret place

The setting sun sets the clouds on fire
They reflect all your passion and wondrous desire
Yours was the life to which we aspire
Now we consign your body to the funeral pyre

So though we living must let our hearts mend
Don't fear for us as you ascend
Rest in peace my dearest friend
We will see each other in the end
