Hymn to the Fallen

In the twinkling of an eye,
many years have gone by.
Yet whenever I behold

those stars in the sky,
I know, that is where they always lie.

In the midst of this darkest night, 
however dim may still be their light,
may we never lose our hope and sight.
No matter how often we were told "might is right",
I shall not forget, they have once fought a heroic fight.

Extinguished may have been their lives,
their spirit will never die,
and I know, the daybreak will finally be nigh.
