To Mathias
The
sands of time embrace you
Never again shall you raise breath
Over the land of the living.
You will pass into the night
A mere shadow of my memory
Into the oblivion where we all must go:
You went into it too soon.
If it had not been for you
Then surely I would have died
But you fell into the darkness
Leaving me the ghost of a lover.
A lost child on this barren land
Eyes so cold from sorrow
Lord, protect my fallen love
From passing from eternal light
