Fly away my son
Don’t linger in the cold
Fly away my child
For I have nothing I can give

Ride away my liege
Leave this land of death
Ride away my king
For I have fought my last

Sail away my brother
Travel to where the sun shines
Sail away my friend
For I have been condemned

Darkness falls
And loved ones leave
But a candle always burns
As long as you can dream
