WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE

Father,

Forgive them,

For what is dead

May never die.

Truly,

Today

With me,

In paradise.

For what is dead

May never die.

Woman,

Mother, 

Here, 

Your son

For what is dead

May never die.

My Lord.

Why?

The burden

Alone, 

Forsaken

I?

For what is dead

May never die.

I thirst,

I bow,

Willing,

Submitting, 

For what is dead

May never die.

What is dead.

May never die,

Finished!

Ever more,

The victory cry
