After I have conquered all
And my history unravels
Through the few whispering tongues which bore witness,
May irreverence be a challenge
To the eyes then gazing southward
As recollections of my triumphs are brought forth.
And though the spoils of flesh may spoil
May consciousness prevail
The endless valleys far beyond become familiar,
May there be thoughts left yet to ponder
Whilst the restless souls be sated
And in brilliance, let us rival the unknown.
When lilies’ petals fade to gray
But to spring forth again next day
May it be known that my conquests were not in vain,
For the battles won victorious
Will have been much worth the fight
When they summon my name wandering again.

After I have conquered all
And my history unravels
Through the few whispering tongues which bore witness,
May irreverence be a challenge
To the eyes then gazing southward
As recollections of my triumphs are brought forth.
And though the spoils of flesh may spoil
May consciousness prevail
The endless valleys far beyond become familiar,
May there be thoughts left yet to ponder
Whilst the restless souls be sated
And in brilliance, let us rival the unknown.
When lilies’ petals fade to gray
But to spring forth again next day
May it be known that my conquests were not in vain,
For the battles won victorious
Will have been much worth the fight
When they summon my name wandering again.
