When the sword that I carry falls,
And I fall by its side,
When the angel of the heavens calls,
I know that I have died,
Peace is with me once again,
And I am not true slain,
Peace falls on me like the rain,
I will live again,
So be it that I failed once more,
That I gave up the fight,
So be it that I could not endure,
I still proclaim my right,
To battle on and gain my fate,
As I have tried to do,
To battle on and live to late,
I still have much to prove,
Though not dead, I weep in fear,
I will play my part,
Though not dead, I weep this tear,
And carry his torch in my heart.
